This insanely delicious pork dish is nearly hands off, and absolutely loaded with flavor!
1/2 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (1.5) lb. pork tenderloin
1 cup thinly sliced gala apple
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dry white wine or vermouth (optional)
2 fresh thyme sprigs
In a small bowl whisk together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a medium cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
While the olive oil is heating, rub the pork all over with the rub.
Place pork in the pan, and cook without disturbing it for 8 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place the cast iron skillet in the preheated oven, and cook for 20 minutes, or until pork registers from 145-165 degrees. (Based on personal preference.)
Remove pork from the pan, and tent lightly with foil.
Place the pan on the stove, and add apples and onions.
Cook for 5-7 minutes over medium-low heat, or until softened.
Pour in the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, vermouth if using, and thyme sprigs.
Bring mixture to a simmer, and turn heat down to low.
Cook for 10 minutes.
Serve pork with the pan sauce.
