Pork Tenderloin with Vegetable Sauce

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
• ▢ 2 cloves garlic minced
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon salt
• ▢ 2 sprigs rosemary optional

For the pork

• ▢ 1 tablespoon oil
• ▢ 1 medium onion sliced
• ▢ 1 medium red bell pepper sliced
• ▢ 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
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon salt

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.
