  • Butter 1/2 stick
  • 1/4 cup cooking sherry
  • 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 tsp corn starch

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Tie the tenderloin up every 1 inch or so.
  • Coat the tenderloin with olive oil and then kosher salt & Tony's.
  • Tuck the sprigs of rosemary under the twine making sure the tenderloin is fat side up.
  • Place the tenderloin in a large casserole pan on a rack and put a cup of water in the bottom.
  • Place tenderloin in the oven and cover with foil. (Make sure that during the cooking process, there is always a bit of water in the bottom of the pan.)
  • Cook until the tenderloin reaches 150 degrees, internally.
  • Take the foil off the last 10-15 minutes and broil, if needed, to brown & crisp the top.
  • **Shallot Cream Sauce**:
  • Mince the shallots
  • Place about 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and the butter in a pan and saute on medium low heat.
  • Add the shallots and saute on medium low heat.
  • When softened, add about 1/4 cup of cooking sherry.
  • Let that reduce & slowly add 1 cup of whipping cream, stirring constantly.
  • Next, add the pan drippings, if you have them.
  • Whisk/stir the sauce and if it's too thin, add a tsp. of corn starch to the 1/2 cup of whipping cream, mixing thoroughly.
  • Add this to the sauce and whisk quickly, while pouring, until the mix starts to thicken.
  • Add salt and Tony Chachers to taste.
  • Untie the pork that has rested. Slice into 1/2' sliced and pour the shallot cream sauce over the top.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or rice and ENJOY!
