French Pork Tenderloin with Dried Plums Recipe

French Pork Tenderloin with Dried Plums Recipe

  • 1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Safeway SELECT Verdi Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup pitted dried plums
  • 1/4 cup evaporated low-fat milk
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Trim and discard fat from tenderloin. Rinse meat and pat dry.
  2. Pour oil into a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan (with ovenproof handle) over high heat, tilting pan to coat bottom. When oil is hot, add tenderloin and turn as needed to brown on all sides, about 4 minutes total. Remove from heat and spread mustard evenly all over meat.
  3. Put pan with pork into oven; bake until a thermometer inserted in center of thickest part of meat reaches 155 degrees, 18 to 25 minutes. Transfer tenderloin to a rimmed platter and let stand 5 minutes.
  4. While pork stands, add wine, broth, and dried plums to unwashed frying pan. Stirring to release browned bits, boil over high heat for 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, lift dried plums from pan and arrange around pork on platter. Mix evaporated milk and cornstarch until smooth; add to pan and stir until sauce boils. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Cut pork diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve with sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.
