Ingredients
 
 

  • olive oil
  • 1 small pork tenderloin about 1 pound
  • 1 medium size sweet potato
  • 1 small apple
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tbsp dried parsley flakes - 1 tbsp. fresh chopped optional - for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Put a skillet on at medium high and eyeball enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Only if you have to - trim the silver skin off the pork tenderloin. I hope that you can find the vacuum sealed ones in the marinade at your grocery store.
    Lay the tenderloin in the skillet.
  • Sear it on all sides and then move it to a cutting board and slice it into about 3/4" slices. Put them in the skillet and cook them for about 3-4 minutes a side.
     Then move them to a dish that will catch the drippings.
  • While the pork is cooking slice up the sweet potato and the apple. 
    When you move the pork to the dish add the sweet potato, apple slices, lemon juice, salt and pepper to the skillet. Toss them a few times as they cook to get them coated with the oil, etc.
  • When you can easily poke a sweet potato slice with a fork put the meat slices  and the drippings back in the skillet.  Toss it all together a couple of times as the pork slices warm back up. 
    Serve up and enjoy your Easy Pork Tenderloin Dinner.
