Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Place an ovenproof sauté pan, just large enough to fit the tenderloin, over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to the hot pan, followed by the pork. Brown on all sides, then tuck 2 rosemary sprigs underneath the meat, transfer to the oven and continue cooking until the internal temperature of the pork at its thickest point reaches 130 degrees, 10 to 20 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the pork from the oven, transfer to a serving plate and tent with foil. Discard the rosemary. Place the sauté pan over medium heat and add the garlic, rhubarb, pear and remaining rosemary sprig. Sauté until the rhubarb begins to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Season lightly. Pour in the beer and broth and reduce by half, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the honey and butter; then press the sauce though a fine-mesh sieve set over a serving bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Slice the pork and serve, passing the rhubarb sauce at the table.

The sauce was great and I'll make this again. The caveat being that I made some changes so it was FODMAP diet friendly. I omitted the garlic, pear, and butter. I doubled the rhubarb and swapped the honey for brown sugar. Finally, I added a tablespoon of tamari and a little ground fennel to enhance the savoriness.

Holy cow... excellent pork. I cooked it at 350 for 30 minutes. I did not strain the gravy/puree. I had an apple instead of pear on hand. It was so very good. Took no time to make and absolutely divine. My husband loves it. Definite addition for our family rotation!!

This was delicious. Made the sauce while the pork was cooking. Once softened I mashed the pear and rhubarb and left them in for a chunky sauce. Did not have beer but did have white wine which worked perfectly in this sauce. Will make again.
