Ingredients

1 1/2 pound pork tenderloin
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
1/4 cup white wine or 1/2 cup chicken stock
1/3 cup apricot jam or preserves


Directions

Season tenderloin with salt and pepper (or rub with your favorite spice rub mix or garlic). Heat a small amount of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet and brown the roast on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place skillet in a 400-degree oven and finish cooking until temperature reaches 150 degrees (check after 15 minutes). Transfer to a plate and allow meat to rest, covered, for 10-15 minutes. The temperature should rise to 160 degrees (the meat should have a faint blush of pink).

Deglaze the skillet by adding wine or chicken stock to dissolve the browned drippings in the pan. Cook over medium-high heat until the liquid is reduced by half, and stir in apricot jam or preserves. Serve pork with apricot sauce.
