Pork Normandy

Dinner 🍽️Lunch 🥪 French 🇫🇷

Pork Normandy pairs tender seared pork with caramelized onions and sweet apples, then braises everything in chicken stock and hard cider for a balanced, gently tangy flavor. A velvety cream-finished sauce ties it together, making it a comforting choice for a cozy dinner or a relaxed weekend meal.

Pork Normandy
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the tenderloin in the melted butter, then move it to a plate.

  3. 3

    Add the onions to the skillet; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the apple and cook until golden brown. Stir in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Whisk the chicken stock and hard cider together in a bowl; pour into the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the tenderloin to the skillet; season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Cover the skillet, transfer it to the preheated oven, and bake until the pork is slightly pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

  6. 6

    Transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board and slice into 1 1/2-inch pieces.

  7. 7

    Place the onions, apples, and all the liquid from the skillet into a blender or food processor; pulse until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan and reheat over medium-low. Stir in the cream and heat until warm.

  8. 8

    Spoon the sauce over the sliced tenderloin to serve.
