Maple-Dijon Cider Pork Roast: A Quick and Delicious Meal

This 30-minute recipe for Maple-Dijon Cider Pork Roast is both quick and delicious. It's perfect for a special occasion or a busy night when you need a meal that requires minimal effort. You'll need a pork tenderloin, gluten-free hard apple cider, pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and a skillet.

Ingredients:

  • 1-1¼ to 1-1½ pound pork tenderloin (not loin)
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme for seasoning
  • 12 ounces gluten-free hard apple cider (Smith & Forge recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1½ teaspoons cornstarch

Equipment:

  • Oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron)
  • Oven

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven: Set the oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Prepare pork: Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
  3. Sear pork: Heat a thin layer of high heat cooking oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin for 1-2 minutes on all four sides, or until each side is golden brown.
  4. Roast pork: Place the entire skillet into the oven and roast until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 140°F (60°C), 8-15 minutes depending on the size of your tenderloin.
  5. Rest pork: Transfer the pork to a cutting board to rest while you make the pan sauce.
  6. Make pan sauce: Place the skillet back over medium-high heat. Add the hard apple cider, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Whisk to combine and simmer until the sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
  7. Thicken sauce: Stir together water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour the mixture into the skillet and whisk to combine. Continue to simmer while occasionally whisking until the sauce is thickened and glossy, about 3-4 more minutes.
  8. Strain sauce: If there are burnt herbs or bits, strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve or use a skimmer to remove them.
  9. Serve: Slice the pork and serve with the luscious, sticky pan sauce.

Enjoy your feast!
