Pork Tenderloin with Dijon Cream Sauce
Ingredients:
- AdapTable Meals® Onion, Garlic, & Bell Pepper Pork Half Loins
- 3 tbsp. olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp. whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. freshly-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tbsp. whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1 to 3 tbsp. water, to thin
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 tsp. dried thyme
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cloves of garlic, pressed or finely minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. While that’s heating up, pat the tenderloins dry with a paper towel.
- In a bowl, prepare the glaze by combining the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, soy sauce, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Incorporate the ingredients and set aside for later use.
- Next, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloins until they are golden brown on all sides to lock in the moisture and caramelize the outside for an extra burst of flavor. Then, transfer the seared tenderloins to a baking sheet and generously brush them with the delicious glaze to coat every surface.
- Next, place the tenderloins into the oven for 15 minutes. After that, give them a flip and continue roasting until they reach a perfectly juicy 145° - 150°F. Once they're done, take them out and let them rest 5-10 minutes on a cutting board while you work on whipping up a delicious pan sauce.
- Now, melt some butter in the same skillet you used for searing over medium heat. Once it's melted, toss in some minced garlic and sauté until it becomes wonderfully fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Next, squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and pour in the heavy cream. Then, add a kick of flavor with some Dijon mustard. Allow the sauce to simmer gently, then sprinkle in some thyme, with salt and pepper to taste.
- Keep cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until everything is nicely mixed together. If the sauce becomes too thick, simply add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until you achieve the perfect consistency. Once you're happy with the results, take it off the heat.
- Lastly, cut the tenderloins into juicy 1 to 2-inch thick slices, then arrange them on your favorite platter. Pour the rich pan sauce over the slices and add a pop of color with some fresh herbs for that perfect finishing touch!
- Serve and enjoy with your favorite side dish!

- Grease an oval gratin dish or a 9×9 baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter. Arrange the first layer of sliced sweet potatoes in overlapping rows, following the shape of the dish. Then add 3 ounces of the shredded Gruyere cheese. Arrange the second layer of sweet potatoes in the same manner.
- Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, pressing lightly to submerge the potatoes into the liquid (I strained the herbs and garlic pieces out of mine for a silky texture.)
- Finally, sprinkle on the remaining 3 ounces of Gruyere cheese, cover with tin foil, and bake for 40 minutes. Then uncover and bake until the top of the gratin is golden and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes then serve.
NOTES
This recipe can be prepped 6 hours ahead. Cover with foil and chill. Allow to sit out on the counter for 30 minutes -1 hour before baking.

Shawn’s Grilled Steak with Fried Onion Strings and…

- 1/4 C heavy cream or half and half (warm)
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 medium yellow onion, halved
- 1 C buttermilk
- 1 C all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 2 tsp cayenne pepper
- pinch garlic powder
- canola oil, for frying
Directions
- Cut the onion in half and very thinly slice into small half rings. Place the onions in a small bowl and submerge in buttermilk. Half an onion is enough for two servings. Let soak for 1 hour on the counter.
- Add flour, salt, and cayenne pepper to a separate bowl and mix. Bring oil to 375°F in a small saucepan. 1-2 inches of oil is all you need.
- Using tongs, remove the onion from buttermilk and add to the bowl with flour mixture. Dredge until onions are fully coated. Remove from the flour, shaking off any excess, and add to saucepan with the oil. Fry for 30 seconds-1 minute or until onions are just starting to turn golden brown. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Add potatoes to a large pot. Fill the pot with cold water, covering potatoes by at least 1 inch. Add salt and bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork with no resistance.
- Drain water from the pot and add melted butter and warm cream. I warm butter/cream in short intervals in the microwave. Add garlic powder and mash until potatoes are creamy and smooth. Use a wooden spoon to stir out any remaining lumps. Stir in milk and add salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and set aside.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and clean the grates well.

Melissa’s Grilled Pork Loin Filet with Rainbow Veggie…
Ingredients
- 1 package AdapTable® Meals Whiskey Black Pepper Pork Loin Filet
- 1 C cherry tomatoes
- 1 large orange bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow summer squash
- 1 medium green zucchini
- 1 medium red onion
- Grill skewers
- Salt and pepper to taste or another seasoning blend you like
Directions
- Remove the pork from the fridge and let it rest at room temperature while you prepare your vegetables.
- The cherry tomatoes are left whole; cut the bell pepper, summer squash, zucchini, and red onion into large but bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 inches square each. For the squashes, I like to cut them into 1-inch rounds and if the rounds are bigger than bite size, I’ll cut the rounds in half to make half-moon pieces.
- Thread your vegetables onto your skewers, working in rainbow order if you’d like (tomato, then orange bell pepper, then yellow squash, then zucchini, followed by the red onion). Repeat on the skewer until it’s full but leave an inch or two on both ends to make sure nothing falls off. Repeat on remaining skewers until you’ve used all your vegetables.
- When your vegetables are ready, prepare your grill.
- Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates (I do this with a cleaning brush and then I dip a paper towel in oil and rub it on the grates; this helps everything to not stick).
- Reduce the heat to medium to medium-high, and place your pork tenderloin in the center. The loin has three natural sides — grill each side for 10 minutes, continuing to turn to a new side after each 10 minutes.
- Add the vegetables for the last 10 minutes of grilling, turning them once halfway through cooking.
- Cook until the pork reaches 145℉. on an instant read thermometer, about 30 to 35 minutes on the grill. Cook the vegetables until they are tender and crisp.
- Remove the pork and vegetables from the grill as they are done cooking.
- Let the pork rest for 3 minutes before slicing.
- Season the vegetables generously with salt and pepper or your favorite seasoning blend.
- Serve right away while still hot.

- 3/4 C mayo
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard

- Mix all the slaw ingredients together in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and set in the refrigerator while you prepare the pork.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Set the pork loin on a parchment lined baking sheet. Set in the oven and cook for 35 minutes.
- Remove the pork loin from the oven and brush with the BBQ sauce. Set it back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes.
- Use a meat thermometer to test the internal temperature has reached 145°F. Allow it to rest for about 3 minutes, then slice into ½ inch thick pieces.

- 1 tsp salt

- 5 brioche or high-quality burger buns for serving
- Barbecue sauce for serving
Directions
- 15-20 minutes before you plan to cook the meat, remove it from the fridge and let the meat rest at room temperature.
- While the pork is resting, make your coleslaw.
- Add the chopped coleslaw mix (pre-shredded cabbage and carrots) to a large bowl.
- Use a cheese grater to shred the apple into the bowl (leaving the core behind); if you like larger pieces of apple, you can finely chop the apple instead of grating it.
- Add the green onions (use both the white and green parts of the green onions for this recipe).
- Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Set aside.
- Preheat your grill over high heat. Clean and oil the grates.
- Reduce the heat to medium and place the pork chops on the grill.
- Cook for 2 to 2.5 minutes on each side or until the pork reaches 145℉. on an instant-read thermometer; these pork chops will cook very quickly. Be sure to not overcook them as it will dry them out.
- Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 3 minutes.
- To make your sandwiches, place a cooked pork chop on the bottom of one bun, top with 1/4 C of the coleslaw mixture, and add 2 tbsp of barbecue sauce on top of the coleslaw. Put the top bun on the sandwich and enjoy! Repeat with remaining ingredients
