Black, green, white, pink… crushed whole peppercorns can really doll up a dish. Unlike their earthier cousins, pink peppercorns are really the dried berries of different shrubs. They bring fragrant notes of pine and citrus to a buttery, creamy sauce that graces pork tenderloin and asparagus.

Preparation
Start the pork
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Pat the pork dry; season with S&P.
- In a medium pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until seared.
- Transfer to a lined sheet pan, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the woody ends of the asparagus.
- Wrap the peppercorns in a dish towel; using a heavy pan, press down and rock until roughly crushed.
- Roughly chop the chives.
Finish the pork & roast the asparagus
- To the sheet pan of pork, add the asparagus, a drizzle of oil and S&P; toss well.
- Roast, stirring the asparagus halfway, 10 to 14 min., until the pork* is cooked through and the asparagus is tender.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
Make the sauce
- Meanwhile, in the reserved pan, heat 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium.
- Add the onions and sauté, scraping up any browned bits, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant.
- Add the peppercorns and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the demi-glace, cream and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until the sauce begins to thicken.
Plate your dish
- Divide the asparagus between your plates.
- Top with the pork and spoon the sauce over.
- Garnish with the chives. Bon appétit!
