This tender and flavorful pork tenderloin
roast is made even more delicious with a
simple pan sauce. Just marinade and roast.
Add all the marinade ingredients to a
zip bag and smoosh to mix. Add the pork and
smoosh to coat it all over. Press out the air and
close the bag. Refrigerate for a few hours.
Remove the pork from the bag and
save the remaining marinade. Roast @400º
for about 30 minutes. I like to use my
cast iron skillet. It gives it a good sear.
There are always 2 tenderloins in a package and
one is always bigger than the other, so if yours is
the smaller one, just roast for a little less time.
Once it’s nice and browned, remove it to a warm
platter. Let it rest while you make the pan sauce.
Place the skillet on medium heat; add the broth
and whisk to scrape up all the browned pieces.
Add the reserved marinade and bring to a
simmer and let reduce for 2-3 minutes.
Whisk in the butter and keep warm on low.
Slice the tenderloin and spoon on the sauce.
Be sure to spoon extra sauce on each serving.
I served this with sweet potatoes and
oven-roasted brussel sprouts.
For the sweet potatoes I just microwaved
them for 4-6 minutes until tender. Then
I topped with butter and brown sugar.
The brussel sprouts were tossed with a little
olive oil, salt and pepper and roasted along with
the tenderloin for the last 20 minutes,
shake the pan halfway to toss.
I used my cast iron pans for the tenderloin and
the brussel sprouts.
