Total time: 27 minutes

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces pork and 2 tablespoons sauce)

Ingredients

  • 1  pound  pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1  tablespoon  coarsely ground black pepper
  • 2  teaspoons  olive oil
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2  cup  fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2  cup  dry red wine
  • 1  teaspoon  Dijon mustard
  • 1  teaspoon  tomato paste
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°.

Slice the pork lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, the other side. Open halves, laying pork flat. Sprinkle each side of pork with 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Heat oil a large ovenproof skillet coated with cooking spray. Add pork; cook for 2 minutes on each side. Place the pan in oven, and bake at 425° for 12 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 160° (slightly pink). Remove pork from pan; keep warm.

Add broth and remaining ingredients to pan; stir well with a whisk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (for about 3 minutes).

Just found this recipe and made it last night--so quick and easy and delicious!!! I did thicken the sauce with a touch of cornstarch. I would definitely serve this pork tenderloin to company. My family loved it--including our Westie and mini Schnauzer!01/10/10

It is rare to find a main course recipe that is not only quick and easy but really delicious. My whole family loved this -- 3 teens, husband and of course the Westie -- will positively make this again!12/01/09
