Roasted Garlic &Amp; Cracked Black Pepper Pork Tenderloin

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°.

Step 2

Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of oil; swirl to coat. Add pork to pan; sauté 4 minutes. Turn pork over; place pan in oven for 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer registers 145°.

Step 3

In the meantime, place green beans on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the 2 tablespoons olive oil, the salt and pepper; toss to coat thoroughly. Spread them out so they’re in a single layer. Roast for 10 minutes, stir, spread to a single layer again; roast for an additional 7-8 minutes until crisp tender and caramelized.

Step 4

While the pork and green beans are roasting, mix together all of the ingredients for the cranberry sauce in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Remove cooked pork from pan; place on a cutting board. Let stand 5 minutes.

Step 6

Cut the pork into thin slices. Divide onto plates and serve with the cranberry sauce and green beans.
