Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 orange bell pepper, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

How to Make Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Peppers

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the tenderloin, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned pork tenderloin and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. While the pork is searing, prepare the peppers. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers with minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Once the pork is seared, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. Add the seasoned peppers to the skillet, creating a bed for the pork.
6. Place the seared pork tenderloin on top of the peppers in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into medallions.
8. Serve the sliced pork over the colorful roasted peppers, garnished with fresh basil.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to let the pork rest after cooking; this keeps it juicy.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
• Feel free to add other vegetables, like zucchini or onions, for more variety.

Easy Variations

• Substitute turkey tenderloin for a leaner option.
• Use different types of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar, for a unique flavor.
• Add a sprinkle of feta cheese on top for a creamy touch.

What to Serve With It

• Quinoa or brown rice for a complete meal.
• A fresh garden salad to balance the savory flavors.
• Crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
