Ingredients

• 2 pieces (1 pound each) Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large (sliced into thin strips) Vidalia onion
• 1 cup (sliced thin) Shiitake mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Apple cider
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloins dry with paper towels and rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

Remove the pork from the oven, transfer it to a cutting board, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

While the pork is roasting, make the chutney. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 8

Add the Vidalia onion and cook until softened and golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the shiitake mushrooms and grated ginger. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.

Step 10

Add apple cider vinegar, apple cider, brown sugar, and cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

Step 11

Simmer the chutney over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes until thickened and reduced. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 12

Once ready to serve, slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and plate with a generous spoonful of Vidalia shiitake ginger apple cider chutney on the side.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
