Savory Pork Tenderloin
/From the kitchen of Brad and Dani Betts
A roasted pork tenderloin that is best served with garlic-mashed potatoes and a strawberry salad. GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE
Ingredients:
1 log of pork tenderloin
2-3 T. olive oil
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 t. dijon mustard
1 T. white balsamic vinegar
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
2 t. sage (dried) or several leaves of fresh sage
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place pork tenderloin in a 9” x 13” baking pan with sides.
In a small bowl, mix all ingredients above. Pour over tenderloin and roll meat around to cover all sides.
Cook until inside is nearly white (20-25 minutes or more).
Cut into medallions and serve.
Notes from the chef:
The tenderloin is delicious but restrain yourself. The best part about this meal is the leftovers. The next day, place 2 T. olive oil and 2 T. butter in a large saucepan. Slice a vidalia onion into strips and heat in melted butter and oil until soft, slightly browned and caramelized. Place leftover pork in the saucepan and pull apart into bite-size strips. Mix well with onions and serve as a pulled pork sandwich with barbecue sauce, or with Savory Sweet Potatoes in a rollup. Bellissimo!
