ORANGE PORK TENDERLOIN RECIPES

Steps:

• Place pork slices in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Combine butter, thyme and cayenne; spread over pork. Pour 3/4 cup orange juice over meat. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, basting occasionally., Remove pork and keep warm. Pour pan drippings into a measuring cup; add enough remaining orange juice to measure 3/4 cup. Pour into a saucepan. Stir in flour and sugar until smooth. , Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with pork.

Steps:

• Trim each tenderloin to remove excess fat. Cut each tenderloin into 4 equal rounds.
• With a mallet or meat pounder, pound each pork round to about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• In a skillet large enough to hold the pieces of pork in one layer, heat the oil over medium high heat. Saute pork for about 2 minutes on each side. Do not overcook. Remove from the pan and keep warm on a platter.
• In the same skillet, add the onions and cook until wilted. Drain the fat and add the port and wine. Bring to a boil. Stir and scrape to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken broth and the tomato paste. Stir to blend; reduce by half.
• Add the orange sections and zests, bring to a simmer and swirl in the butter. Add any juices that may have accumulated around the pork slices. Blend well. Pour the sauce over the pork and serve hot.
