Ingredients

For the Pork Tenderloin

  • 1 pork tenderloin (1 - 1 1/2 pound)
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • salt and pepper

For the Sauerkraut and Vegetables

  • 1 pkg sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large apple, cored and sliced (Fuji, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith work best)
  • 1 medium onion, sliced thin
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare the pork: Pat the tenderloin dry. Mix Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, then rub evenly over the pork.
  • Sear the pork (optional): Heat a skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
  • Arrange vegetables: In a roasting pan, combine sauerkraut, apple slices, onion slices, apple cider, and brown sugar.
  • Roast everything: Place pork on top of the sauerkraut mixture and roast 20–25 minutes, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Rest the meat: Let pork rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve over the sauerkraut, apples, and onions.
