Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Cherry Sauce
This dish feels fancy but is a cinch to put together. A sweet sauce of frozen cherries with a splash of heart-healthy red wine brings a touch of luxury to a simply cooked lean pork tenderloin. Cherries, packed with vitamin C and polyphenols, have been shown to have effects on heart health, including reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, and blood pressure levels.
Temperature check
Pork can dry out quickly if overcooked, so to ensure flavour, as well as safety, it’s important to use a meat thermometer to test doneness. Pork can be consumed safely at an internal temperature of 145 F (63 C).
The US Department of Agriculture recommends a rest time of at least 3 minutes after the meat has been removed from the oven. When measuring temperature with a meat thermometer, make sure that you’ve removed the meat from the heat source before placing the thermometer in the thickest part of the meat.
