Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 medium potatoes, diced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

How to Make Pork Tenderloin with Savory Stew

1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
2. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper on all sides. Once the oil is hot, add the tenderloin to the pot and sear it for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the pork from the pot and set it aside.
3. In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
4. Add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.
5. Pour in the beef broth and add the thyme, rosemary, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
6. Return the seared pork tenderloin to the pot, nestling it among the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F) and the vegetables are tender.
8. Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
9. Serve the sliced pork over a generous helping of the hearty vegetable stew and garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to sear the pork well for enhanced flavor.
• Feel free to adjust the vegetables based on your preferences; bell peppers or green beans would also work well.
• Allow the stew to simmer gently; this helps meld the flavors together.
• If you want a thicker stew, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the stew during the last few minutes of cooking.

Easy Variations

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
• Substitute chicken broth for beef broth for a lighter flavor.
• Add a splash of red wine to the broth for a deeper, richer taste.
• Swap out the pork for chicken thighs or beef for a different protein option.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty bread or a warm baguette for dipping into the stew.
• A simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette.
• Mashed potatoes or rice for a heartier side dish.
• Steamed green beans or broccoli for added color and nutrition.
