Roast Pork Tenderloin with Pan Sauce

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.
