Mustard-Crusted Roast Pork Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

3 tbsp Dijon mustard
4 tsp minced garlic, divided
2 whole well-trimmed pork tenderloins, (abt 1 lb ea)
2 tbsp dried thyme leaves
1 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb asparagus spears, ends trimmed
2 red or yellow bell peppers or one of each, cut lengthwise
into 1/2"-wide strips
1 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine mustard and 3 teaspoons garlic in small bowl. Place tenderloins on waxed paper; spread mustard mixture evenly over top and sides of both tenderloins.

Combine thyme, black pepper and salt in small bowl; reserve 1 teaspoon mixture. Sprinkle remaining mixture evenly over tenderloins, patting so that seasoning adheres to mustard. Place tenderloins on rack in shallow roasting pan. Roast 25 minutes.

Arrange asparagus and bell peppers in single layer in shallow casserole or 13- by 9-inch baking pan. Add 1/4 cup broth, reserved thyme mixture and remaining 1 teaspoon garlic; toss to coat. Roast vegetables in oven, alongside pork tenderloins, 15 to 20 minutes or until thermometer inserted into center of pork registers 160 degrees and vegetables are tender.

Transfer tenderloins to carving board; tent with foil and let stand 5 minutes. Arrange vegetables on serving platter, reserving juices in dish; cover and keep warm.

Add remaining 3/4 cup broth and juices in dish to roasting pan. Place over range-top burner(s); simmer 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat or until juices are reduced to 3/4 cup, stirring frequently.

Carve tenderloin crosswise into 1/4-inch slices; arrange on serving platter. Spoon juices over tenderloin and vegetables.
