Onion-Smothered Pork Tenderloin

The weather is finally turning and I couldn’t be happier to feature a deliciously cozy dish that is keto-friendly and oh so filling…

A well-cooked pork tenderloin can be a showstopper on its own, but if you want to take the flavor to the next level, use this recipe. I promise it’ll be a HIT. It’s only a few ingredients and would even be a wonderful addition to your Thanksgiving or Christmas table!


Let’s do it!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pork tenderloin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 1 tbs butter

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice entire onion into thin strips.
  • Melt butter in pan and sauté onions until soft and golden brown (about 10-15 minutes).
  • Mix all the seasonings together and rub on the top and sides of tenderloin.
  • Place pork in an oiled casserole dish and cover the meat with the sautéd onions.
  • Cook until internal temperature of the meat reaches 140 degrees (between 20-30 minutes).
  • Take pork out of the oven and tent with aluminum foil for 10 minutes for the juices to distribute. (The meat’s temperature will continue to rise.)
  • Check to make sure the pork’s internal temperature is at least 145 degrees.
  • Slice and serve with your favorite side dish!
  • Leftovers can be stored for three days in an airtight container.

  4. Thank you for the recipe. We do not eat pork so I substituted super firm tofu for the protein but used your other ingredients and instructions as written. It was an easy weeknight dinner and we all enjoyed it.
