Instructions
-
Heat the oven to 425°F. Halve 12 ounces red potatoes, toss them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and roast cut-side down on a rimmed sheet pan for 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, pat 1 pound pork tenderloin dry and season it with 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork for 6 to 8 minutes, turning to brown all sides.
-
Trim 12 ounces green beans and toss them with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Turn the potatoes, add the beans to the sheet pan, and place both the sheet pan and skillet in the oven; roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pork reaches 145°F and the potatoes are tender.
-
Transfer the roasted 1-pound pork tenderloin to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes while making the sauce.
-
Return the skillet to medium heat, add 2 ounces minced shallot, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar; simmer for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat and whisk in 1 tablespoon unsalted butter.
-
Slice the rested 1-pound pork tenderloin and divide it between two plates with 12 ounces roasted red potatoes and 12 ounces roasted green beans; spoon the Dijon-thyme pan sauce over the pork.
Wine picks:
- The Four Graces Pinot Noir Oregon Red Wine $25.99 1 bottle
- Erath Pinot Noir Oregon Red Wine $15.99 1 bottle
Why it works: The pork’s delicate richness and earthy thyme pair naturally with Oregon Pinot Noir, while its bright acidity complements the tangy Dijon–cider vinegar sauce and roasted vegetables. The Four Graces offers a more polished, bistro-worthy option; Erath is an excellent value with similarly fresh, savory character.
