Follow these easy steps to prepare your Pork Tenderloin:
Step 1: Cut up bacon into small pieces and brown in the cast-iron skillet in one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Push the bacon around occasionally with a wooden spoon.
Step 2: While it browns, prep your sweet bell peppers and onion. Cut the baby potatoes in quarters. Once your bacon is browned, add the onions, sweet bell peppers and potato pieces. Drizzle with honey, season with salt, pepper, ground mustard, smoked paprika, powdered onion and garlic.
Step 3: Heat oven medium to high heat for about 10 minutes, on the stove top and stir with a wooden spoon, coating everything well. Then finish in a preheated 450 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes, until your potatoes are tender. About 15 minutes before the Farmhouse Skillet potatoes are ready, toss in halved brussel sprouts.
Pan Seared Pork Tenderloin:
Step 1: Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet, over medium to high heat. Brown the pork tenderloin pieces on each side. Place the entire skillet in the preheated oven (450 degrees F) for about 20-22 minutes, or until the pork has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. (The pork loin will continue to cook as it rests)
Step 2: Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the potatoes and vegetables.
