This is a favorite of mine that is so easy. Don't use too big of a pan so the juices don't spread out too much and burn.

I just saw it calls for 11 x 17 pan. I would think an 11 x 13 would work as these tenderloins aren't that large.

Looks good. :bigbow:

Thanks. I am going to try this, maybe today.

Glad to hear that. Let me know how it turns out! I'm thinking of making it later this week.

I am not a confident cook, but I will see what I can do with this. Catching pork before it gets tough is an art I think, even with a meat thermometer.

I would like to roast some vegetables to go with it. So far, I am as far as thinking about carrots. But the day is young.

Any recipes out there for a nicely seasoned combination of roasted vegetables?

I think you will need to adjust the cooking time based on how big the tenderloins are. A meat thermometer will help. Here is a recipe I found that is a spin on a similar one with just tomatoes that I make. I have added this one to my Pinterest page as it sounds really good if you like summer squash and tomatoes. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/56787645279100809/

Another way is to take carrots sliced diagonally, peeled parsnips, red potatoes quartered, chunks of red onion, brussel sprouts, coat veggies in olive oil, season with seasoned salt and pepper and bake until done in a 400 degree oven. Try to make the veggies approx the same size so they cook evenly.

Add this to the Pork roast.

Jullian sliced carrots in a large pan
Corse chopped or sliced dates
Two or more Tlbs of melted butter poured on top (substitute olive oil if you like but butter is best)
Add a little salt and pepper

Roast till golden (about 30++ mins at 350)

Please do not add veggies to the roasting pan when roasting the pork. It will alter the cooking time and texture of the pork and the glazing effect as you will be basting the pork with the glaze. Veggies can be roasted separately and warmed later.

I finally got around to trying this. The flavor is really nice. Nothing overpowers anything else. The only problem was my fault. Catching that pork at that perfect pink temperature got past me. It had too much time to stand. I should have listened to Mr. Boomer. I got all hung up on the meat thermometer reading. Should have taken the pork out of the oven sooner.

I just had a couple of those little leftover medallions cold for lunch. Flavor still nice. Texture reminding me to grab it sooner next time.

I also tried the carrots and dates recipe posted in this thread. I was lazy though and bought carrot chips instead of trying to do the julienne thing with my dull knives. The carrots seemed to be getting too dry before they were done. Mr. Boomer poured a little orange juice on them to finish up and they turned out fine.

Please do not tell Mr. Boomer that I might be setting him up to take over all the cooking.

Glad you tried the pork. It really is key to catching it right when you think it is done. Last time I used my meat thermometer it made reminded me that it is time to buy a new one. I think my last one lasted about 20 years and they are much more advanced now. The pork tenderloins vary so much by size. In the photo they have two small ones, but all I could find in the store were large ones.

If you are looking for a good thermometer do a search for Thermapen. It's an 'instant' read type with a very thin probe. I use mine for testing breads & baked goods as well as meats. It's a bit pricey but, IMO, well worth the investment.

Looks delicious. Of course if you soak most foods in sugar they will taste pretty good.

I'm going to have to try it some time.

I do believe though that pork tenderloin cooked that long would be gray and dried out. I would check it after about 20 minutes

I have tied two small ones together with cotton string when I was worried about the size. I also take it out a few degrees early knowing it will rise to the correct temp.

MWAHa-Ha-Ha........

I just now set a trap on the kitchen counter for Mr. Boomer. All ingredients needed for a pot of soup are gathered together in a fetching manner. The vegetables are all washed (though not chopped and/or diced. I do not like to chop and/or dice.) The big pot is on the stove. The garlic press has been retrieved from the place where it always tries to hide among the spatulas and shredders. The cutting board and measuring cups and spoons are all there. And the recipe is tauntingly placed alongside everything......

And then I wandered away. I am in my office across the hall. Typing silly stuff on the internet.....

HARK!! What's that I hear? -- chopchopchopchopchop....

You are quite clever. Hmm... Now that I think about it, my husband has been pulling this on me for years.:p.

Sounds good! Mom and I will have to try it!
