Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds Pork Tenderloin Trimmed and cut into medallions for even cooking.
  • 1 cup Apple Cider Use fresh, organic cider for the best flavor.
  • 2 large Sweet Potatoes Peeled, cubed, and boiled until tender.
  • 1 medium Onion Sliced.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Use extra virgin for a healthier option.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Unsalted for better seasoning control.
  • ¼ cup Heavy Cream or Milk For a creamy texture in mashed sweet potatoes.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the pork medallions and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Remove the pork from the skillet. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the same pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of apple cider, stirring to deglaze the pan and bring to a simmer.
  5. Return the pork to the skillet, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  6. Boil the cubed sweet potatoes in salted water for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  7. In a bowl, combine sweet potatoes, 2 tablespoons of butter, ¼ cup of heavy cream or milk, and mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
  8. Serve the pork medallions with a generous scoop of mashed sweet potatoes and drizzle the apple cider sauce over the top.
