Pork tenderloin is a great lean protein. Searing it on the stove and cooking it over vegetables in the oven helps give it a lot of flavor.
My aunt {who is a really good cook} made some pork tenderloin with veggies. It was so good.
And we have leftover pork, so I'm making something tonight for dinner to use the leftovers {I'll post that recipe tomorrow}.
This pork tenderloin with vegetable sauce is great over mashed potatoes or with some bread to soak up the extra sauce. We took the mashed potato route, and it was a wonderful idea.
I threw in a salad for some extra color & more veggies {always a good thing!}

Ingredients
For the Marinade
- 1.5 lb pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt-free Creole seasoning or all-purpose seasoning

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 sprigs rosemary optional

- 1 medium yellow bell pepper sliced
- ½ cup white wine or chicken broth
- ¼ cup chicken broth or water
- ¼ teaspoon salt-free Creole seasoning or all-purpose seasoning

Instructions
Marinate the Pork
- Put all the ingredients for the marinade in a zip top bag. Seal bag, and place in a shallow dish. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Cook the Pork
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Take pork out of marinade and shake off excess. Put the pork in the skillet and sear each side for about 3 minutes each.
- Remove pan from heat. Take pork out of the skillet, and set aside.
- Add onion and bell peppers to pan, making sure they cover the bottom of the skillet. Top vegetables with pork.
- Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until pork is almost done.
- Take pork out of skillet, and cover pork with foil.
- Put the over-proof skillet {with the onion & bell peppers in it} over medium heat. Add the wine, chicken broth, salt-free Creole seasoning, and salt to the skillet.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by about half.
- Slice pork and serve with vegetable sauce over pork.
