How to Make Pork Tenderloin with Mashed Potatoes

I haven’t had a pork tenderloin with potatoes in a long time. If your family loves a delicious meat and potatoes meal check this one out. Serves 4  Ready in just 25 minutes 

Ingredients:

1 pound pork tenderloin
Salt and pepper, to taste  
Nonstick cooking spray 
1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth 
2 teaspoons cornstarch 
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 
2 cups hot cooked mashed potatoes 
Snipped fresh chives or sliced green onions (optional)


Directions:

Trim fat from meat. Cut meat into 1/2-inch slices. Using your hands, gently flatten meat until about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 

Coat an extra-large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat skillet over medium heat. Add meat; cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until just pink in center, turning once. Transfer meat to a serving platter; cover to keep warm. 

Meanwhile, for sauce, in a small bowl stir together broth, cornstarch, and mustard. Add broth to skillet, stirring to scrape up any crusty brown bits. Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. To serve, spoon sauce over meat and mashed potatoes. If desired, sprinkle with chives.
