Beef Tenderloin with Cranberry Pan Sauce

In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and paprika.

Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the cinnamon-paprika blend (you’ll use more later), salt, and pepper.

Roast on top rack until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add couscous, raisins, and half the shallot; cook, stirring, until couscous is lightly toasted and raisins and shallot are softened, 3-5 minutes.

Add half the stock concentrates and ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings); bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer and cover. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes.

Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. TIP: If pork is on the thicker side, reduce heat to medium; cover and cook for 2-3 minutes more per side.

Transfer to a cutting board to rest. Reserve pan.

Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add remaining shallot, a pinch of salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and softened, 2-3 minutes.

Stir in ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings), jam, remaining stock concentrate, remaining cinnamon-paprika blend, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce begins to thicken, 3-5 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
