What to serve with Pork Tenderloin

This pork tenderloin is great with duchess potatoes when you want an easy dinner that still feels nice. I love Scalloped Potatoes, but I’m also RATHER fond of this mashed potato recipe,

Green beans are also a great side. Check out these sautéed green beans!

After the pork is done, and resting – a little pan gravy is a super easy way to make a killer finishing touch. Plus, making gravy in the same pan you cooked your pork in, means you get alllll the flavor from the pork right there in the gravy.

Place the pan on the stove over medium-high, and sprinkle a little flour over the top of the pan juices, and make a paste. Whisk in the stock, and some salt/pepper to taste, and let it thicken. Ta-da!!

Notes

What temperature should pork be cooked to?
Use a thermometer in the thickest part of your pork, and cook to 145, and rest for 3 mins after cooking. Use a high-quality meat thermometer to check the temperature. Accurately measuring this ensures fully cooked but not OVER cooked pork.

Change out the seasoning for Italian seasoning, or Tuscan Seasoning

Choose pork tenderloin at the grocery store that is not pre-marinated. Season your own!

Pork tenderloin goes on sale regularly at grocery stores! A good price is around $5.99-$7.00 per pound.
