Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, potatoes, etc.)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Remove the pork tenderloin from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
- Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and rosemary on all sides, ensuring even coverage.
- Wash and chop mixed vegetables into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Mince garlic cloves finely.
- Place a large cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Melt butter until it starts to foam and turn slightly golden.
- Sear the pork tenderloin in the hot butter for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Add chopped vegetables and minced garlic around the pork in the pan. Toss vegetables lightly in the remaining butter and pan drippings.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork's internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice pork tenderloin against the grain into medallions and serve with the roasted vegetables.
Tips
- • Temperature is key: Always let your pork tenderloin sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even roasting. • For the most tender result, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches exactly 145°F. • Choose a cast-iron skillet or heavy oven-safe pan for the best heat distribution and beautiful golden searing. • Don't skip the resting period after cooking – this allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat incredibly moist. • Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to guarantee even cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked. • For extra flavor, experiment with different herb combinations like thyme, sage, or a touch of smoked paprika. • If you want a deeper caramelization on your vegetables, consider broiling the pan for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
