Pork Tenderloin with Horseradish-Cranberry Sauce

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe. This is a delightful meal. This would be perfect at the holidays too. It’s very easy to make and can be multiplied to serve a larger party. Each pork tenderloin will usually serve 3 people.

Servings: Serves 6

Ingredients:

• 2 large pork tenderloins
• your favorite meat rub
• 4 Tbl of mayonnaise
• 4 Tbl of crème fraiche or sour cream
• 2 tsp of prepared horseradish
• ¼ tsp of grated lemon peel
• ¼ cup of minced dried cranberries. Soak the cranberries in a small bowl of hot water for 10 minutes to soften them before you make the sauce.
• sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large ovenproof pan (9″ x 13″) spray a bit of olive oil spray and put in the tenderloins. Spray the tops of the tenderloins and season with your favorite meat rub. I use a brand called Special Sh*t. I know it’s a vulgar name but it’s amazingly good! Any meat rub will go with the sauce.

Put the tenderloins in the oven and roast them for approximately 30 minutes or until they measure 160 degrees in the center. This time will vary depending on the thickness of your tenderloins.

While the tenderloins are roasting you can make your sauce. In a bowl add the mayo, crème fraiche, horseradish, lemon peel and minced cranberries. Stir. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce sit until the tenderloin is ready to serve. You can drizzle the sauce over or just serve a puddle of it on the side.

This can be served hot or room temperature. Will work great on a buffet.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
