Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pork tenderloin 12 oz.
- 1 Tbsp. canola oil
Wild Blueberry Sauce
- 3/4 cup dry red wine
- 1 cup fresh wild blueberries or blueberries
- 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. grated lemon rind
- 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
- Half a pear or apple cored and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Rub the pork tenderloin with the thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- In a large cast-iron or ovenproof skillet heat the canola oil until hot over medium-high heat. Brown the pork on all sides, about 5 min.
- Roast the pork in the oven for 30 min. or until a thermometer reads 160F. Tent for 10 min. while you make the sauce.
- For the wild blueberry sauce, drain any fat from the pan. Add the red wine and stir to scrape up any bits.
- Boil over medium-high heat until slightly reduced about 4 min.
- Add the blueberries, pears, sugar, and lemon rind and return to a boil for 2-3 min. until pears are beginning to soften and berries are popping.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 Tbsp. water and stir into the sauce. Stir until clear and thickened.
- Slice the pork tenderloin and serve with the blueberry/pear sauce on top.
