Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs. Pork tenderloin patted dry
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 t. Avocado or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Orange juice
  • 1-1/2 t. Dijon mustard
  • 1 T. Light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary leaves , finely chopped
  • 1/4 c. dried fresh cranberries
  • 1 T. unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Get your dry pork tenderloin and make the butterfly cut. Place it in a large bowl and drizzle with oil. Season it with teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste then set aside.
  • Get a medium bowl and combine orange juice, mustard, brown sugar and rosemary. Set aside.
  • Heat oil on a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer pork tenderloin to hot skillet. Cook 5-6 minutes on the first side or until golden brown. Flip and cook on the 2nd side 5 minutes more or until just cooked through. Remove tenderloin from pan and place on rimmed cutting board and lightly cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Add orange juice mixture to skillet. Add any accumulated meat juices from cutting board then combine cranberry sauce. Stir cranberry sauce and cook until it's reduced by half (2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and whisk in butter just until it melts in the cranberry mixture.
  • Thinly slice the brown pork and place it on a serving platter.
  • Place cranberry-orange sauce on top. For a beautiful presentation, garnish it with additional orange zest, fresh rosemary, or some orange slices, if desired. Enjoy!
