This pork tenderloin with plum sauce is an easy one-pan dish. When shopping for this recipe, choose plums (or any other stone fruit) that are fairly firm, so they keep their shape after roasting. Do you know that selfish jerk that has to feel up every piece of fruit before deciding on one? This time, be that jerk.

Ingredients

  • vegetable oil: 1 Tbsp
  • pork tenderloin: 1 piece
  • salt and ground black pepper: (to taste)
  • red onion: 1 piece (sliced)
  • shallots: 2 piece (sliced)
  • thyme sprigs: 3 piece (to taste, fresh)
  • firm plums, pitted and each cut into 4 wedges: 2 piece
  • water: 1 cup
  • balsamic vinegar: 1 Tbsp
  • butter: 1 tsp (cold)

  2. Heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Generously season pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper. Cook tenderloin in hot oil until browned on all sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer tenderloin to a plate and set aside.

  3. Sauté onion and a pinch of salt in drippings in the skillet until onion begins to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add shallots; reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir until onion and shallots are golden brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes.

  5. Cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork and plums to a clean plate; cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

  6. Place the skillet over medium-high heat. Pour water and vinegar into onion mixture. Bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook and stir until liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in cold butter until melted and sauce is shiny.
