Pork Tenderloin with Smokehouse Apple BBQ Sauce
Share
If you’re looking to serve up something that tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen (without actually doing that), this dish is your answer. Juicy pork tenderloin, caramelized apples and onions, and The Good Schmidt Smokehouse Apple BBQ Sauce come together for a smoky, sweet, and tangy masterpiece. Perfect for impressing dinner guests—or just treating yourself!
Ingredients:
- 2 pork tenderloins (1-1.5 lbs each) from Schmidt’s Meat Market in Nicollet, MN (because quality matters, folks)
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 large onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup The Good Schmidt Smokehouse Apple BBQ Sauce (plus extra for basting and serving!)
Instructions:
1. Marinate That Tenderloin
Give your pork the VIP treatment by marinating it in Smokehouse Apple BBQ Sauce for 15 minutes. Trust us, this step turns tenderloin into taste-bud gold.
2. Sear for Glory
Heat up the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown those tenderloins on all sides (about 4-5 minutes) until they have that golden crust we all love.
3. Prep the Flavor Base
In a roasting pan, spread out your apple and onion slices like a comfy bed for the pork. Drizzle generously with Smokehouse Apple BBQ Sauce. The sauce mingles with the apples and onions to create a caramelized, smoky-sweet magic as it cooks.
4. Roast to Perfection
Place the browned tenderloins on top of the apple-onion base. Pop the whole thing in the oven at 350°F for 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temp hits 145-160°F (depending on how you like your pork).
5. Rest and Serve
Remove the tenderloins from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This locks in all those amazing juices, so every bite is moist and flavorful.
6. Plate It Schmidt Style
Slice the tenderloins and serve them alongside the caramelized apples and onions. Pour extra Smokehouse Apple BBQ Sauce on top (because you deserve it). Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or even a fresh salad—whatever makes your heart happy.
