Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 400 ° if necessary. Preheat oven to 425° if cooking in regular oven.
Rub the tenderloin with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cook 20 -25 minutes on air fryer setting, turning halfway through. For smaller tenderloin check for doneness after 20 minutes, 25 for larger. Use the same timing if using regular oven. Remove from oven when internal temperature is between 142-145°. (Temperature will rise a few degrees during resting period.
Allow tenderloin to rest 5 minutes lightly covered once done. Internal temperature should be between 145 ° and 160° for minimum to well-done.
Prune Sauce
While tenderloin is roasting heat the chicken broth in the microwave on high for 1 minute. Combine broth and all other sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Side Stir Fry
While tenderloin is resting, heat 2 tsps vegetable oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the vegetables and sauté 3-5 until tender crisp.
Gently reheat prune sauce in microwave (about 1 minute on medium high). Slice pork tenderloin and drizzle with prune sauce. Plate tenderloin with vegetables and rice if desired. Pass remaining prune sauce on the side. It also enhances the vegetables.
