Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pat the pork dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the thyme.
Step 2
Warm the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium- high heat. Sear the pork until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the apples, cut side down.
Step 3
Turn the apples over and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 12 minutes, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F for medium.
Step 4
Meanwhile, cook the barley according to the package directions. Keep warm.
Step 5
Transfer the pork to a cutting board; tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. Remove the apples to a serving platter.
Step 6
Place the skillet over medium- high heat. Add the wine; cook for 3 minutes, until the wine is reduced by half.
Step 7
Slice the meat and transfer to the platter with the apples; add cooked barley. Drizzle the pan sauce over the pork and barley; serve.
