Ingredients

• 2 pieces (approximately 1 lb each) Pork tenderloin
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 medium (pitted and chopped) Plums
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) Fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season the pork tenderloins evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet with the pork tenderloins to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 6

While the pork is cooking, make the plum sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped plums, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chicken stock.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums break down and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Remove the plum sauce from heat and blend it using an immersion blender or a regular blender until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more chicken stock to reach your desired consistency.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more honey or vinegar, if necessary.

Step 10

Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and serve with the plum sauce drizzled on top.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh thyme if desired, and serve with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
