Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, then halve them. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
- On the prepared baking sheet, toss the Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes with 2 teaspoons of cooking oil, salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt, pepper and dried thyme.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork for 10-12 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
- While the pork rests, make the sauce. Place the skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and minced garlic, stirring for 30 seconds. Add the honey and chicken stock concentrate, stirring to combine. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions. Serve alongside the roasted vegetables and drizzle the honey thyme pan sauce over everything.
Recipe Tips
For even cooking, bring the pork tenderloin to room temperature for 15 minutes before searing.
If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the seared pork to a baking dish before roasting.
Let the pork rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
