Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 - 2 lb pork loin cut trimmed and cleaned
  • 3 tbsp - vegetable oil
  • 1 - bunch multi colored carrots large diced, approx. 2 cups
  • 1 - small red onion medium diced
  • 2 - garlic cloves minced
  • 2 - pink lady apples larger diced
  • 3 - sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp - unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp - dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp - maple syrup
  • salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.  Liberally salt and pepper both sides of the pork loin.  Heat a large skillet over high heat with vegetable oil.  Once it's hot, carefully lay down the pork loin to sear on both sides. You're just looking for a golden brown color on both sides.  Set the pork loin aside on another plate.
  2. Add the butter, carrots, apples, onion, garlic, and thyme to the pan. Cook for 8 minutes and return the pork back to the middle of the pan. Mix together the mustard and maple syrup and cover the pork loin with the mixture. Place the pork into the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 145F.  Let the pork rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
