Ingredients

¼ cup balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon salt

2 teaspoons paprika

½ teaspoon dry mustard

1 ½ teaspoons fresh ground black pepper

3 (1 1/4 pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed of fat

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 small cloves garlic, minced

3 large shallots, finely chopped

1 carrot, peeled and chopped

1 stalk celery, chopped

2 cups Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon

4 cups beef stock

3 cups blackberries

2 tablespoons blackberry jam

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon espresso powder

Kosher salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Mix vinegar, sugar, salt, paprika, mustard, and pepper together; marinate pork in the mixture for up to 4 hours.

Step 2

Heat a medium saucepan over high heat and add olive oil. Stir in garlic, shallots, carrot, and celery; reduce heat to medium-high and saute until vegetables begin to brown and caramelize, about 5 minutes. Add Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon to deglaze the pan, stirring well.

Step 3

Stir in stock, blackberries, jam, and balsamic vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the liquid is reduced by half, about 30 minutes.

Step 4

Strain sauce and return to pan. Bring sauce to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium. Cook until sauce is reduced by half and thickened, about 5 minutes more. Season to taste with espresso, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

Heat grill to medium heat. Brush the pork with 2 tablespoons olive oil and place on grill. Cook for about 15 minutes, turning each side 90 degrees to make a crosshatch pattern. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 150 to 155 degrees F.

Step 6

Transfer pork to cutting board and let rest 8 to 10 minutes. Slice and serve with blackberry sauce.
