Pork Tenderloin With Caramelized Apple & Onion Relish - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb pork tenderloin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 apple, cut into thin wedges
1 garlic clove, finely minced
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Season all sides of pork with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 TBS Olive Oil in a large oven proof skillet over high heat. Add tenderloin to pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side to create a nice searing effect.
Transfer pan to oven and bake at 450 degrees for about 15-18 minutes (or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees). Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice across the grain in 1/2 inch slices.
While the tenderloin is baking, add 1 TBS Olive Oil to another large skillet and heat to medium-high. Add onions. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Cook until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add apples. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes or until mixture begins to caramelize. Add maple syrup. Lower heat to medium low and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Serve tenderloin slices on top of a bed of the apple & onion mixture. Enjoy!
