  • For the pork tenderloin, I make sure to get organic pork, pork from a local farm, or pork that is:
    • Never-ever treated or given antibiotics or added hormones; no gestation crates or farrowing crates
    • Certified Humane Raised and Handled
    • Pork from animals raised by small independent U.S. family farmers committed to sustainable and humane practices who are paid a premium to follow strict raising standards.

Cooking

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

While the oven heats up you will need to spray a little avocado oil in your cast iron pan to prevent sticking and heat on medium heat. Place your pork tenderloin in the pan and cook just enough to lightly brown all the sides.

Sometimes I add a little apricot glaze to my pork tenderloin. Apricot glaze doesn’t need to be complicated, to be honest I use natural apricot preserves to keep things simple. This is the one that I use because it has no added sugar or weird ingredients: apricot preserves.
