Preparation

1. Prepare the vegetables

Cut the onion into thin strips, slice the garlic, and cut the mushrooms into quarters. Set aside.

2. Brown the pork

Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper to taste. In a skillet with hot oil, brown it well on all sides.

3. Cook the onion and garlic

Remove the pork from the pan and add the onion and garlic. Cook until they begin to soften and turn golden.

4. Add the mushrooms

Add the mushrooms and cook until they start to take on some color. Lower the heat if needed.

5. Add the beer

Pour in the beer and let it cook for about 5 minutes so the alcohol can evaporate.

6. Return the pork

Place the pork tenderloin back in the pan and adjust the salt if needed.

7. Add broth and apricots

Add the chicken broth or water and the dried apricots. Cover and let everything cook over low heat for about 20 minutes.

8. Reduce the sauce

Remove the pork from the pan and let the sauce reduce over higher heat for about 5 minutes.

9. Slice and serve

Slice the pork into pieces about a finger thick. Serve it on a platter over the vegetables and spoon the sauce on top.
