A quick and easy skillet recipe featuring pork tenderloin seared in cast iron with a sweet and savory brown butter peach glaze, perfect for cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.25 pounds / 450–570 g), trimmed of silver skin
  • 2 tablespoons honey (local or raw preferred)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to season
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced thin (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • A few sprigs fresh thyme (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Trim and season the pork tenderloin: remove silver skin, pat dry, and season all over with salt and pepper.
  2. Preheat cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil until shimmering.
  3. Sear the pork tenderloin for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown crust forms, turning gently with tongs.
  4. Lower heat to medium, add butter and minced garlic; cook and stir until butter browns and garlic is fragrant (about 2 minutes).
  5. Add peach slices and thyme sprigs around the pork; cook until peaches soften and butter turns golden brown.
  6. Drizzle honey and apple cider vinegar into the pan; swirl to create a glossy glaze.
  7. Continue cooking pork for another 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally and spooning glaze over it, until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove pork from skillet and let rest on cutting board for 5-10 minutes.
  9. Slice pork into medallions and serve topped with brown butter peach glaze and softened peaches; garnish with extra thyme if desired.

Notes

If glaze thickens too much, add a splash of water or broth to loosen it. Keep a close eye on the butter to avoid burning. Rest pork before slicing to retain juices. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil.
