Preparation: pork tenderloin in a skillet with potatoes
To prepare the pork tenderloin in a skillet, first trim any excess fat from the tenderloin, then season it with salt and pepper and massage the seasoning into the meat.
Tie it with kitchen twine so it keeps a round shape during cooking and insert two sprigs of rosemary so they are in contact with the tenderloin.Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges not too small, then put them in a bowl with water so they lose some of their starch and become more golden when cooked.
Sauté the thinly sliced onion in the extra virgin olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet. Once the onion is browned, add the tenderloin and let it brown on all sides so it retains its juices; deglaze with the wine and let it evaporate.
Once the wine has evaporated, add the potatoes, lower the heat and cover the skillet with a lid.
Cook the pork tenderloin in the skillet for a total of 20–25 minutes, checking that the cooking liquid doesn’t dry out too much.During cooking, turn the pork tenderloin a couple of times and also the potatoes so they brown on all sides.
If they tend to stick to the pan you can add a few tablespoons of water but don’t overdo it.If you have a kitchen thermometer, measure the internal temperature of the tenderloin; it should reach 149°F to be perfectly cooked.
If you don’t have one, pierce it with a skewer: the juices that come out should be clear. Turn off the heat, let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing, bring to the table and..
ENJOY YOUR MEAL
