This meat and potatoes dish takes advantage of a simple marinade to glaze the pork tenderloin, and a light oil-and-vinegar-based potato salad to round out the dish. Tender yet crisp green beans add a nice crunchy contrast to the creamy potatoes and the sharp hit of pickled shallots adds a zing to the potato salad. Dijon and honey are the dynamic duo marinade that imbues the pork with sweet and savory flavor. Finish the pork with a quick sear in the skillet. The sugars in the marinade will caramelize quickly to give you a beautiful crust.
Note: This recipe requires Suvie 2.0 and the Suvie Starch Cooker.

Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin, 12-16 oz
- 1 tbsp smooth Dijon

2) Brush the pork tenderloin with the honey-mustard and vacuum seal.

4) Meanwhile, thinly slice shallot and transfer to a small bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar and 1/4 tsp salt. Let rest at room temperature.
5) After the cook, remove the potatoes from the Suvie Starch Cooker and cut into quarters. Remove the green beans and cut into 1-inch pieces.
6) Combine potatoes and green beans in a large bowl with shallot mixture, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh dill, and 1 tbsp whole grain mustard.
7) Remove tenderloin from the vacuum-sealed bag. Heat a skillet over high heat. Add ½ tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet, sear the tenderloin on all 4 sides for 30-45 seconds per side. The meat should be nicely browned, but not burned.
8) Transfer to a cutting board and slice into pieces.
9) Divide pork and potato between plates, and serve.
Wine Pairing
Tenderloin is one of the more delicate cuts of pork so chose a wine that wont overwhelm the subtle flavors. We recommend either an oak-aged Chardonnay or a good glass of Zinfandel.
First time cooking pork tenderloin in my Suvie. This recipe was delicious. The pork was perfectly cooked.
