Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin with Broccoli and Butternut Squash

7 Ratings
7 Reviews

This easy, flavorful supper brings great taste and texture to the humble sheet pan. The juicy roasted pork tenderloin has a nice herb coating, and its delicious creamy tarragon mustard sauce is great with the butternut squash and the roasted broccoli florets. The sweet roasted squash balances the savory roasted broccoli, and the meat is perfect with just a schmear of the sauce. Pork tenderloins typically come in packages of two, so freeze one for later or double the recipe for a larger crowd. Make sure to preheat the oven with the rimmed baking sheet inside—this way, the tenderloin gets a nice sear and color before the vegetables hit the baking sheet.

Yield:

Serves 4 (serving size: 3 slices pork, 2 cups vegetables)

Directions

Step 1
Preheat broiler to HIGH, and position middle oven rack 6 inches from heat. Rub pork tenderloin with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and season on all sides with thyme, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, and broil in preheated oven until nicely browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove from oven, and reduce oven temperature to 450°F.

Step 2
Toss together broccoli, squash, onion wedges, and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Move pork to 1 end of the baking sheet; spread vegetables and lemon halves in a single layer on other end of baking sheet. Bake at 450°F until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of pork registers 140°F, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer pork to a cutting board, and let rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add butter to baking sheet, and toss with vegetables until butter melts. Squeeze baked lemon over vegetables, and stir. Serve immediately.

Awful! Will never make again. I followed the recipe exactly and this was terrible. The meat was way overcooked and the squash was way undercooked. My daughter and I suffered through our meal, but my husband threw his away and had to make something else for himself. I had originally printed off this recipe and it's now going in the recycle bin.

Deb Zu - Thank you for taking the time and effort to provide the Tarragon Sauce recipe! Will be making this and rating the dish itself in a few days!

I found this elsewhere on the MyRecipes site. (It is missing from this Tenderloin recipe and not even sure if it's part of this recipe, as I don't see it on the tenderloin!)
Creamy Tarragon Mustard Sauce (to spoon over cooked steaks)
¼ cup dry white wine
1 tsp sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup sour cream
1½ finely chopped fresh tarragon
tarragon sprigs to garnish (opt.)

Add dry white wine, sugar, and Dijon mustard to pan; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in salt, sour cream, and chopped tarragon. Spoon sauce over warm steaks. Garnish with tarragon sprigs, if desired.

I made this recipe tonight and the pork roast was perfect. Searing it first and then letting it rest meant that the roast was moist and done to perfection,

I screwed up. I had the lemons cut and ready-to-go but I forgot to put them on the sheet pan to roast. I will remember to include them the next time I make this. The broccoli and squash were still delicious.

Thank you. TH

I haven’t made this recipe but it sounds like something I would like and have made before. How much squash is needed for the recipe? Four butternut squash or four cups of squash? Ditto on the mustard.

I agree with Katy Held.....where is the mustard tarragon sauce in the recipe?

This recipe looks great, but I'm confused. It mentions a mustard-tarragon sauce in the description, but neither mustard nor tarragon are listed in the recipe. Did I miss something?
