Equipment
- Parchment paper
- rimmed baking sheet
Ingredients
- 2 large golden beets sliced
- 1 red onion sliced
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ Tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1½ lbs pork tenderloin
Instructions
- Place oven rack in the center position and preheat oven to 425°F.
- Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.

- Add the pork tenderloin to the bowl and turn until thoroughly coated.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven, place the seasoned pork in the middle, and bake for another 15 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the pork reads at least 145°F.
- Remove from oven and allow pork to rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice pork and serve.
Notes
Notes:
- Actual cooking time of pork will depend on several factors, including starting internal temperature of the meat, thickness of the cut, and how your oven is calibrated.
- For best results, remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking and use an instant-read thermometer to test the internal temperature for doneness. The safe minimum internal temperature for pork tenderloin is 145°F.
