Total time: 40 - 44 minutes
1-2 Tbsp - olive oil
1 lb - thawed pork tenderloin
Salt and pepper to taste
3 - pears
1 - red onion
1 Tbsp - balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp - honey
1 Tbsp - Thyme
1 cup - Apple Juice
  1. Preheat oven.
  2. Add oil to frying pan. Set to medium, heat and wait until oil starts to simmer. Add tenderloin and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side. Slice Pears and onion.
  3. Remove tenderloin and set meat aside in an oven safe pan. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
  4. Keeping pan at medium heat add  sliced pears and onion to the pan, stirring every 30 seconds for 3-5 minutes or until browned.
  5. When pears and onions are caramelized, add honey balsamic and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to low for 4 minutes. Add to tenderloin.
  6. Add apple juice and sprinkle thyme on top. Cook for 30 minutes or until internal temperature of meat is at 165 degrees. Add rice or similar side and enjoy!
Notes:
By forgetting to take the tenderloin out of the freezer ahead of time I used the InstantPot to help defrost the meat by putting the frozen meat into the InstantPot and adding 1 cup of apple juice. I used the manual setting by setting it to 20 minutes on high pressure. After the time was up, I used the quick pressure release. I also used 1 cup of the remaining apple juice to the meat later in the recipe.
