This pork tenderloin recipe proves that a simple weeknight dinner can be anything but boring. A glossy glaze made with Dijon mustard and apricot jam coats the tender meat, while crispy Parmesan potatoes and roasted green beans round out the plate. It’s a balanced, flavorful meal that comes together quickly in the oven.
The secret to the glaze is the combination of tangy mustard, sweet apricot jam and rich chicken stock concentrate. As it bakes, the sauce thickens and caramelizes, creating a delicious coating on the pork. Pair it with the salty crunch of Parmesan potatoes and the freshness of green beans for a dinner that feels special without the fuss.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
- Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges. Toss with 2 tsp oil, fry seasoning, salt and pepper. Spread on one side of the baking sheet.
- Trim green beans if needed. Toss with 2 tsp oil, salt and pepper. Place on the other side of the sheet.
- Roast vegetables for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pat pork tenderloin dry and season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix apricot jam, Dijon mustard, chicken stock concentrate and 2 tsp oil.
- Heat remaining oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Sear pork until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes total.
- Brush pork with half the apricot-mustard glaze. Transfer skillet to oven (or place pork on a separate baking sheet). Roast with vegetables for 10-12 minutes, until pork reaches 145°F.
- Remove pork from oven, brush with remaining glaze and let rest 5 minutes.
- Toss hot potatoes with Parmesan cheese and butter until melted. Serve sliced pork with potatoes and green beans.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy potatoes, spread them in a single layer and don’t overcrowd.
Let the pork rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
If you don’t have fry seasoning, use a mix of paprika, garlic powder and onion powder.
