Pork Tenderloin in Pan Gravy

[bauchjw]

This months Throwdown got me into a gravy mood! We were getting ready for a long family trip back to Iowa and wanted to clear out a few things so I had a brisket going for road snacks and future chili, but went with a pan gravy tenderloin for pre departure diner. Basic S&P rub on the pork and leftover rubs for the brisket.
I’ve been starting on Traeger, then moving to wood burner when things mellow a bit lately. Also rendered some trimmings for smoked tallow

Pork went on about 8 hrs after brisket. Then moved brisket to the BelFab where CI was getting ready with onions, garlic, and potatoes in bacon grease for pork in beer braise.

Finally pork nestled in. I went with an uncovered braise as an excuse to drink beer and add more liquid as needed. Temps never went above 250. Brisket juice kept basting the pork and potatoes

Once IT of pork was 140, pulled the pan and too the pork out to rest. Also removed the vittles. Put on low heat to make gravy, sliced up pork and put it all back in the pan to let people eat up!

Plate shot:

Good last home meal before a few days of road food! Happy Thanksgiving!

Looks nice. But is it gluten free with free range swine and organic vegetables? You should try non-alcoholic beer.

Fantastic meal there my friend! I would dig into that like there's no tomorrow!
Safe travels..

Thank you Ryan! Yessir, it was very gelatinous. Bobby-Jean tries to stay away from flour so I used cornstarch, maybe a bit too much? First time using it, I didn’t thin it out enough with broth afterwards

Looks great Jed and nice write up.

WOW!! That looks fantastic Jed. A simply gorgeous plate of pure pork (and gravy) perfection. Very well done sir!!

I went with an uncovered braise as an excuse to drink beer

Come on Jed, do you really need an excuse to drink beer?? My excuse for drinking beer: I'm still above ground and can pick up the bottle

Very nice cook Jed! Love onions in pan gravy!

I use corn starch slurry all the time, as you see a little goes a long way…. It also has to boil to get to full thickness and cook in. That amount of gravy should have been about a Tsp or so…. The other thing to note is it’s thinner when hot so it should be thinner in the pan and it will thicken a bit in/on the serving dish…..

Looks real good to me Jed. Tenderloin is my favorite, and you did it proud.

Point for sure

Sorry for late reply! Long trip back! But Thank you Robert! And….no, I personally don’t need an excuse, but my wife often asks for my justification

Thank you Civil! And Thank you for the tip, I’m just getting into the gravy game using corn starch based on wife’s request. This’ll help!
