CEiMB: Pork Au Poivre
I literally just ate this dish about 30 minutes ago, and I'm still basking in the glory of this dish. You must. make. this. pork.
This is hands down my very favorite CEiMB dish that I've made yet. It's simple, but the flavors are amazing. It's also so easy to make, with readily available ingredients, and takes about twenty minutes from start to finish. However, promise me that if you make it, you won't skip the sauce, you promise? It takes two ingredients, chicken broth and red wine, to basically change your life as you know it today. I poured a little on my mashed potatoes as well and well, pure heaven. I already can't wait to make this again, and as far as I know, there are no dinner plans tomorrow night...
Thank you Rachel Hearts Food for hosting!
Pork Au Poivre
Ellie Krieger
Ingredients
1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon black peppercorns, coarsely ground or crushed
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup dry red wine
Salt
Directions
1. Slice tenderloin lengthwise, being careful not to cut through to other side. Split meat into 1 large, flat piece. Spread mustard over both sides of the meat and rub in the pepper, pressing gently so it adheres well. Cut meat crosswise into 4 even portions.
2. In large skillet, heat oil over medium flame. Put tenderloin in the pan and cook for about 10 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 155 degrees F, turning once. Transfer meat to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm. Add chicken broth and wine to pan and cook over medium-high heat, scraping up any bits that have stuck to the pan. Continue to cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until sauce is reduced to about a half cup. Pour sauce over meat, season with salt, and serve.

This sounds and looks amazing. I've just recently started making pork and I've fallen in love with it...and THIS is something I simply must make. it's right up my ally! So simple! Thanks for sharing!

Oh that looks delicious! I sort of wished I had made mashed potatoes with mine. We just ate our leftovers and they were just as good as last night. So easy to fix wasn't it?

This looks absolutely delicious!! The pictures look so good.
this looks so moist and tender. Yummers!
I love simple, delicious meal. This one gets an extra bonus becasue it's healthy too.
I promise not to skip the sauce, if you promise that you enjoyed some of that red wine yourself while cooking.
That DOES look simple! And I have all the ingredients, right down to an opened bottle of red wine.
Have a great weekend!
I love pork and your dish looks delicious! I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it and will try this! Thanks!
I love it! I just cleaned up the freezer too, and realized that I have three pork tenderloins in there...
We loved this and I loved that it was so easy to make on a weeknight. The guys were split on the amount of peppercorns, so prob will reduce that slightly next time. Yours all looks wonderful, and I thought the sauce was great on the potoatoes as well.
Glad you enjoyed it, Teresa!
I love au poivre anything - that looks delicious!
Have a great trip - we'll see you when you get back! :D
This looks so yummy and easy too. Thanks for sharing.
I was already planning on making pork today. Wish I had some red wine to give this recipe a go. It looks fantastic.

Well hello there and how are you? Sorry I have been a stranger. I promise that I am back :) My dad LOVES Steak Au Poivre...I bet he'd love this pork. I might need to invite he and my mama over for dinner to give it a go! How is your weekend??
Thirty minutes to post time. Now that's a recommendation!
Hope your week is great!
Pork Au Poivre... wow-o-wow! It looks amazing!
I love pepper steak, but haven't tried it with pork. It sounds like a must try recipe!
I love the way pork absorbs all the wonderful flavors of other cooking ingredients. Pork and mashed spuds are on the menu tonight.
Great list of ingredients! This is my kind of dinner! Yum! Have a great week!
Dang. It sounds so posh...and looks so gourmet..but it's got few simple ingredients, and the preparation is not too fussy! nice!
Have a great spring break!
Pork is such a versatile meat and you can do so much with it and it's always good! Peppered Pork sounds incredible!
simple but I bet it was absolutely divine!
Looks scrumptious, I will most likely take your advice :)
Happy Thursday!
