I love those meals that are simple enough for a weeknight meal yet equally special for Sunday dinner. Easy Roast Pork Tenderloin is ideal for both these occasions. I season lean pork with pantry spices, seared, and then finished off in the oven. The meat is tender, delicious, and a snap to prepare. I like to serve this with some roasted potatoes and a salad.
