Roasted Pork Tenderloin and Vegetables is slow cooked in a dutch oven or covered roasting pan. It combines browned pork tenderloin with onions, potatoes, carrots, fire roasted tomatoes and a perfect blend of common pantry spices in a super easy gravy that almost prepares itself. It cooks up so tender in a little over an hour. You can serve it up in a soup bowl like a chunky soup or stew with a piece of crusty french bread or baguette.
How do you make Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Vegetables?
First using a Dutch Oven or heavy skillet brown the pork tenderloin in a little olive or vegetable oil over medium heat. Remove from the Dutch Oven and place on a plate and set aside. Now add the onion and cook for several minutes stirring a couple of times. Add about one cup of chicken broth and stir to remove the delicious brown bits from the bottom of the pan. In the cooking world this is known as deglazing.
If you are using a roasting pan instead of a Dutch Oven transfer the onions and broth now. Add the potatoes, carrots, fire roasted tomatoes, Worcestershire Sauce, oregano, basil, onion powder and garlic powder to the Dutch Oven or roasting pan. Stir gently to coat the vegetables. Place the roast on top of vegetables, cover and bake for 325 degrees for about 1 hour or until the vegetables are fork tender. Remove the pork tenderloin to a cutting board and remove vegetables to a bowl.
Whisk together a little chicken broth and cornstarch. Place the cooked broth from the roasting pan in large saucepan over low heat (this can also be done right in the dutch oven) whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Continue whisking and cooking until slightly thickened. Cut roast and add it and the vegetables to the gravy. Stir gently to combine and simmer just until warm.
Recipe notes and helpful tips
- I love my Dutch Oven. It is one of my favorite ways to cook because you can sear, braise and roast all in the same pan. However if you do not have one or want to invest in one you can cook this recipe using a couple of pans.
- If available use Vidalia onions as they are sweet and really send this recipe over the top.
- Deglaze the pan using chicken or vegetable broth to get those delicious tasty brown bits off the bottom.
- Cook the tenderloin and vegetables in the oven just until the vegetables are fork tender.
- If you like your pork tenderloin a little less done remove it about 20-30 minutes early and wrap in a loose tent foil. Place the rest of the goodies (vegetables, broth and tomatoes) back in the oven and finish cooking until fork tender. Once the vegetables are done remove them from the pan, make the gravy, slice the pork tenderloin and add it and the vegetables back to the pan.

Great recipe!! Made it last night. My wife loved it. It is a hearty meal but not heavy in your belly and based on the amount of veggies you make and eat kind of healthy. I used one large russet and one large sweet potato instead of the red potatoes. I also coated the tenderloin in a mixer of Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, fresh minced garlic and crushed basil before searing in a hot skillet. I also added a little olive oil and higher end balsamic vinegar to the vegetables before roasting. I will make this one again l.

Hello, I want to try this but I want to make sure if you take that outer skin off like I have read in other recipes? Thank you
Beth Pierce
Yes you should trim the silverskin if it is not already trimmed by the butcher.

This was great and so easy to prepare and riff off of. Total prep time was under 10min because i substituted with a pre-seasoned store bought pork loin. The only adjustment I’d be interested in making for next time; is cooking a little longer at a lower heat to get a little more toughness out of the pork. Hoping to get that, almost fork-cuttable cook.
Beth Pierce
Thanks Sam! Yes low on the crock pot might do the trick.
