Simple Quick One Pan Tuscan Pork Loin

I didn't grow up eating pork. I have always really loved pork, especially pork tenderloin- but we didn't have much of it growing up because my dad is crazy and has issues with a lot of different meats (it's a texture thing- he gets creeped out easily by basically anything that isn't ground beef!). Since I don't have a ton of recipes built up from childhood, (and I am trying to be more forceful with my kids and make them eat what I make them, thankyouverymuch) I've been stockpiling easy, fresh, and delicious preparations I love. This Tuscan Pork Loin was an instant hit with us- and it is so good, I'm going to force my dad to try some the next time he's visiting.

Not only does using one pan to cook the entire meal in fill the meat up with flavor- but the method we're using to cook the pork loin quickly at high heat keeps it juicy and from being tough and overly dry- which let's face it, turns anyone off pork, whether they are picky or not.

How to make One Pan Tuscan Pork Loin

First you want to assemble the following ingredients:

• Pork Loin - pork is a great meat because it is juicy, has a great texture and is easy on your wallet.
• Sea salt - I always use a fine grain high quality sea salt. The salt will season the tenderloin which will in turn season the whole dish.
• Black pepper - fresh ground black pepper adds some heat and kick to this dish.
• Onion - onion gives a nice, sweet background to this pork loin. Make sure you cook them long enough that they start to brown.
• Garlic - garlic packs a big punch that will define this dish.
• Cherry tomatoes - these tomatoes will help form a little Tuscan sauce when softened. Use red or a mixed variety.
• Lemon – thinly sliced lemons give you a bright bite that compliments the tomatoes, onions, and garlic.

Once you have assembled the ingredients use this method

Season and brown the meat. Season the tenderloin with the salt and pepper. Heat a heavy oven proof pot on the stove and brown the pork.

Add the other ingredients. Place onions in the pot and sauté until brown. Add the tomatoes, garlic, and lemon. Heat until tomatoes pop.

Bake and rest. Put the pot in the oven and cook until the meat has an internal temperature of 140 - 155 degrees. Remove from the oven then let sit, covered, at least 8 minutes. This lets juices settle. Carve and serve.

Tips and Tricks for Perfect One Pan Tuscan Pork Loin

Use an internal thermometer. The best way to guarantee a perfectly cooked pork tenderloin is by using an internal thermometer. You can find my favorite one here.

Deglaze the pan with wine. After you have cooked the onions to browning try adding a few tablespoons of dry white wine to deglaze the pan so you can get all the good flavor from the pan.
