Ingredients(12)

Pork tenderloin, trimmed6 oz (170 g)
Asparagus, trimmed8 oz (227 g)
Olive oil1 tbsp (15 ml)
Dijon mustard1 tbsp
Capers, drained1 tsp
Shallot, minced1 tbsp
Garlic, minced1 clove
White wine or chicken broth2 tbsp
Fresh parsley, chopped1 tbsp
Lemon juice1 tsp
Salt0.5 tsp
Black pepper0.25 tsp

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss asparagus with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until tender-crisp.

2

While asparagus roasts, pat pork tenderloin dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides until deeply browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

3

Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and cook pork for 10-15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

4

Remove pork from skillet and let rest for 5-10 minutes. While pork rests, return skillet to medium heat. Add minced shallot and garlic, sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with white wine or broth, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in Dijon mustard and capers. Cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce slightly thickens.

5

Slice pork and serve with the mustard-caper sauce drizzled over the top, alongside the roasted asparagus.
