Roast Pork Tenderloin with Caramelized Onions and Maple Demi Glaze
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
1 tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 large onion, grated
1 1/2 cups beef stock
1/4 cup maple syrup
6 mushrooms, sliced
2 Tbsp bourbon
1/4 cup white white wine vinegar
2 Tbsp butter
Preheat the oven to 400F. Sprinkle tenderloin with steak seasoning. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet until smoking. Place tenderloin in skillet and cook until browned on all sides. Transfer the tenderloin to a rimmed baking sheet. Reserve the drippings in the skillet. Roast the tenderloin until the interal temperature registers 135F with an instant read thermometer about 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile heat the olive oil skillet. Saute the onions until translucent but not browned. Add 1/2 cup of stock. Cook until the onions caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute briefly. Add the bourbon, maple syrup, vinegar and remaining stock. Cook until desired consistency. Add butter, stirring until melted and well incorporated
Spice pork across the grain and serve with demi-glace.
