Soothing Pork Tenderloin Pot

On a chilly winter afternoon, I whipped up this filling Pork Pot that's now our clan's go-to warm meal. The soft pork tenderloin bubbles away with potatoes and carrots in a thick tomato liquid until everything blends into complete snug goodness.

A Dish Packed With Warmth

This pot brings together all the best things - juicy meat, substantial veggies and a tasty broth that gets you toasty from within. My favorite part is how the pork stays moist while the vegetables reach that just-right softness.

Your Ingredients

Can I tell you what you'll need to throw together this warming pot?

Cooking Instructions

I'll guide you through the method for getting super soft meat and veggies in a tasty liquid.

Storage Tips

It tastes even better a couple days later and stays good in your fridge up to 4 days. Want to keep it longer? Stick it in your freezer for up to 3 months. When warming it up, just throw in a bit more broth if it's too thick.

Common Recipe Questions

→ What cuts of pork can I use?

Pork shoulder or butt are great options but might need extra time to get really tender.

→ Is this slow cooker-friendly?

Absolutely! Sear the pork first, then cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours.

→ How long can leftovers last?

In the fridge, they’re good for up to 4 days. Freeze it, and you’ve got 3 months to enjoy it. Warm gently when reheating.

→ Can I switch up the vegetables?

Of course! Throw in celery, peas, or parsnips. Harder veggies go in earlier; softer ones closer to the end.

→ Why add flour to the meat?

The flour boosts the flavor by thickening the sauce and giving the meat a golden, crispy edge when cooked.
