Tender and juicy marinated pork roasts in the oven with seasonal vegetables for a comforting, nutritious, and easy dinner! While it’s special enough to serve to guests, this One Dish Garlic & Herb Pork Tenderloin comes together with only 10 minutes of prep and is so simple that it’s equally appropriate for a weeknight supper!
Hi, friends! For those of you who saw my Weekend Recap on Sunday, you probably already know that we made a quick stop in Kroger on Saturday afternoon after the boys’ soccer games so that I could do some grocery shopping for the week ahead. While I was there, I picked up one of my family’s favorite dinner options of all-time: a Smithfield® Marinated Pork Tenderloin!
This is definitely one of those win-win meals: I love that the pre-marinated meat makes my mealtime prep just a bit quicker and easier, and Keith and the boys absolutely LOVE the taste. Every time we make it, Keith raves about the juicy and tender pork. In fact, when I served this meal for supper on Sunday evening, I believe that he described it as “buttery!” For a lean cut of meat, that’s HIGH praise!
And my boys? Well let’s just say that it’s tender enough for a toddler to chew, and the older two boys always have more than one serving. There are NEVER any leftovers!
Smithfield® Marinated Pork is great because there are a variety of flavors to choose from, allowing us to think differently about pork. It’s definitely not boring, and these products take care of the first step for us…making dinners that much easier! In the summer we love to throw the marinated pork on the grill; however, with the cooler temps I’m all about the oven-roasted comfort food right now!
And since I’m always looking for quick-prep options that don’t leave me with a sink full of dirty dishes, I decided to prepare this Garlic & Herb seasoned tenderloin as a one-dish meal that I could roast in the oven. And let me tell you: thanks to the garlic and fresh herbs, your house will smell amazing while this cooks! Total comfort food!
So instead of slaving away in the kitchen all afternoon, I opted for a walk with the family on a gorgeous fall day.
Shortly after we arrived home, everyone’s tummies were rumbling! In about 10 minutes I could chop up the veggies, toss everything together in a dish, and pop it in the oven for about 35 minutes. Since the veggies and potatoes cooked right alongside the meat, I didn’t even have to worry about sides!
As we know, I’m all about the short-cuts when it comes to cooking — I’d much rather spend time with the little boys (and big boy) that I love most! Thanks to Smithfield® Marinated Pork for providing a simple and delicious mealtime solution that my whole family can feel good about!
