Mustard Roast Pork

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
  • 2 (1-pound) whole well-trimmed pork tenderloins
  • 2 tablespoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound green beans
  • 1 small carrot, cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-wide strips
  • 1 cup chicken broth, divided

Directions

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix mustard and 3 teaspoons garlic in small bowl. Place tenderloins on waxed paper; spread mustard mixture evenly over both tenderloins. Mix thyme, pepper and salt in small bowl; reserve 1 teaspoon mixture. Sprinkle remaining mixture evenly over tenderloins. Place tenderloins on rack in shallow roasting pan. Roast 25 minutes.
  • 2
    Arrange green beans and carrot in single layer in shallow casserole. Add 1/4 cup broth, reserved thyme mixture and remaining 1 teaspoon garlic; toss to coat thoroughly.
  • 3
    Roast vegetables in oven alongside tenderloins until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in the center of pork registers 160°F and vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Place tenderloins on carving board; tent with foil. Let stand 5 minutes. Place vegetables in serving bowl; reserve juices. Add remaining 3/4 cup broth and reserved juices to roasting pan. Place over 2 burners; cook and stir over medium-high heat until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carve tenderloins into 1/4-inch slices. Serve with juices and mashed potatoes, if desired.

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma was careful to cook her pork to an internal temperature of 150°F to 165°F. This range produces pork that's juicy and tender, whereas the 170°F to 185°F range that is recommended by some cookbooks often produces dry, overcooked meat.
