INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 2 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins

  • Seasonings

    • 🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Oils

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 2 shallots, thinly sliced lengthwise
    • 12 fresh figs, stemmed and halved

  • Liquids

    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • ¼ cup good-quality balsamic vinegar

  • Herbs

    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
    • fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2

Pat tenderloins dry and remove silver skin, if present. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste.

3

Pour oil into a large, oven-proof skillet and heat over medium heat until oil shimmers. Carefully place seasoned tenderloins into the hot oil and brown on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes total.

4

Add sliced shallots around tenderloins and stir, about 1 minute. Add figs, chicken broth, and balsamic vinegar. When the mixture begins to bubble, sprinkle minced rosemary over everything.

5

Cover, place in the preheated oven, and bake until pork is no longer pink in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

6

Using tongs, remove pork from the skillet and place on a serving platter. With a slotted spoon, remove figs from the skillet and place around the tenderloins. Cover loosely with foil.

7

Place skillet back onto the stovetop over medium-high heat. Bring pan juices to a boil and allow to reduce to about 3/4 cup, 10 to 15 minutes.

8

Slice tenderloins, drizzle reduced liquid over the meat, and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired.
