    Electric Skillet Pork Tenderloin with White Wine Sauce

    Jump to Recipe

    Pork tenderloin is a delicious but occasionally tricky cut of meat to eat. While the tenderloin is the most tender part of the pig (obviously), it also lacks a lot of the fat you can find on other cuts. As a result, it can sometimes be difficult to cook a tenderloin to completion without drying it out, especially if you want to keep it whole and impress your Christmas dinner guests.

    To help ensure you give this fantastic cut of pork the respect it deserves, here is a recipe for an electric skillet pork tenderloin. Tender, juicy, perfectly cooked, and with a delicious pan sauce to go with it, it's sure to become one of your holiday season favorites in no time at all.

    Ingredients

    You will need these ingredients to make this recipe:

    • pork tenderloin
    • garlic
    • olive oil
    • orange juice
    • white wine
    • brown sugar

    How to Make it in the Electric Skillet

    1. Season. Season pork with salt, pepper and garlic. Heat electric skillet to 375ºF.
    2. Sear pork. Add the olive oil and sear pork until golden on all sides, about 10 minutes.
    3. Cook. Lower heat to 250ºF and add the orange juice, wine and brown sugar. Stir together. Cook with the lid on for 25 minutes or more (until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 145ºF).
    4. Thicken sauce. Remove the tenderloin and let the sauce thicken. You can add one tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in a bit of cold water to the sauce while it simmers, to make it creamier and help thicken it (it should take about 1 minute).
    5. Serve. Serve the pork with the white wine sauce and fresh oregano leaves.

    Enjoy this holiday dinner with a glass of wine or holiday cocktail such as the Brandy Alexander or cranberry flavored Moscow mule.

    Storage

    • Refrigerate: If you happen to have any leftovers, you can store them easily in a covered container for up to 4 days. The sauce will keep about as long, if you've got any extra.
    • Reheat: Reheat the tenderloin in the electric skillet, oven or microwave.

      After reading your lovely recipe for Electric Skillet Pork Tenderloin with White Wine Sauce, I think that I need to buy another electric skillet! I had one when we were first married and it was such a handy appliance. Your recipe sounds wonderful and a perfect way to cook pork tenderloin. I will be sure to try it over the holiday season and beyond. Many thanks for sharing, Joss.
