Pork Tenderloin Sheet Pan Dinner: Flavorful & Easy One-Pan Meal Recipe

Introduction

This Pork Tenderloin Sheet Pan Dinner is a flavorful and easy one-pan meal perfect for busy weeknights. With tender pork, roasted potatoes, carrots, and a tangy balsamic onion topping, it’s a balanced dinner that requires minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef tenderloin
• 1 1/2 lbs potatoes, sliced into wedges
• 2 large carrots, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 1 onion, sliced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, toss potatoes and carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on one half of the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes.
3. Step 3: Pat beef tenderloin dry. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper; rub this mixture over the beef. In another bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and honey, then toss the sliced onion with this dressing.
4. Step 4: Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Push the roasted vegetables to one side. Place the beef tenderloin in the center and the seasoned onions on the other side. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15-25 minutes, or until the beef reaches your desired doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare) and the vegetables are tender.
5. Step 5: Transfer the beef to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes, tented loosely with foil. Slice the beef against the grain and serve with the roasted vegetables.

Tips & Variations

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked perfectly; remove it a few degrees before your desired temperature as it will continue to cook while resting.
• Swap carrots and potatoes for other root vegetables like parsnips or sweet potatoes for varied flavors.
• Adding garlic cloves along with the vegetables before roasting will enhance the dish’s aroma.

Storage

Store leftover pork and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through. For best texture, avoid overcooking during reheating.

FAQs

Can I use pork tenderloin instead of beef tenderloin in this recipe?

Yes, pork tenderloin works well and cooks similarly. Adjust cooking times slightly and ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for safe consumption.

What if I don’t have fresh rosemary?

Dried rosemary can be used as a substitute; use about one-third of the amount called for fresh to avoid overpowering the dish.

Beef Tenderloin

• 1 lb beef tenderloin
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Vegetables

• 1 1/2 lbs potatoes, sliced into wedges
• 2 large carrots, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 1 onion, sliced

Glaze for Onions

• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
2. Roast Hearty Vegetables: In a bowl, toss the potato wedges and chopped carrots with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat evenly. Spread the vegetables on one half of the baking sheet. Place them in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes until they begin to soften.
3. Prepare Beef & Onions: While the vegetables roast, pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil with finely chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the beef. In another bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey, then toss the sliced onions in this glaze to coat well.
4. Add Beef & Finish Roasting: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and push the roasted vegetables to one side. Place the seasoned beef tenderloin in the center of the pan and add the glazed onions to the remaining space. Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 15 to 25 minutes, or until the beef reaches your preferred doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare) and the vegetables are tender.
5. Rest & Serve: Transfer the beef to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes to retain juices. Slice the beef against the grain and serve alongside the roasted vegetables and balsamic-honey onions for a complete, delicious meal.

Notes

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure your beef is cooked to the desired doneness.

• You can swap carrots for other root vegetables like parsnips or sweet potatoes.
• If you prefer pork tenderloin instead of beef, cooking times may vary slightly.
