Steps:
- Pork: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Rub 1 tablespoon of the oil over the pork and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat. Add the pork and brown it on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer the pork to a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish and roast it until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 165 degrees F, about 25 to 30 minutes. Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board.
- Sauce: In the same skillet used for the pork, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, peppers and garlic and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring frequently until softened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the wine and cook for 2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in the paprika, tomato puree and the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Season with 2 tablespoons salt and pepper, to taste.
- Slice the pork thinly and arrange on a platter. Spoon the sauce on top, garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

JUICY PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS
The trick to the best pork tenderloin is to sear the pork on all sides before roasting. In our recipe, the pork is browned on all sides and then baked on top a bed of onions and peppers. Most often, you will find pork tenderloins sold in packages with two tenderloins. One tenderloin should generously serve two people and will most likely serve three. One note, "pork tenderloins" and "pork loin" are two different cuts of meat. Pork tenderloins are much smaller and take less time to cook.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Trim each tenderloin of any silver skin (this can be tough when cooked). To do this, use a small sharp knife and slide the blade under and outward to remove it.
- Pat pork dry with paper towels, and then season on all sides with one teaspoon of salt.
- Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed oven-safe skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmers, add the pork tenderloins and cook, turning every few minutes, until evenly browned all over; 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a large plate or cutting board. (The pork will not be cooked through).
- Keep the pan used to sear the pork on the stove over medium heat. Add the butter. When the butter is melted and bubbling, stir in the onions then cook, stirring often, until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell peppers, garlic, one teaspoon of thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring every minute or so, for 5 more minutes.
- Use a pastry brush (or use your fingers) to rub the seared pork all over with the mustard, two teaspoons of thyme, and a generous amount of black pepper (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon).
- Place the seared pork tenderloins on top of the onions and bell peppers, and then slide the pan into the oven. Roast 15 to 20 minutes or until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F. Transfer the pork to a large plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest about 5 minutes.
- To serve, slice pork into 1-inch slices then serve on top of the onions and peppers.

PEPPERED PORK TENDERLOIN
Recipe is from my "A Tasteful Medley of Memphis" cookbook. Peppered pork is really delicious - I've had it baked and I've had dried peppered pork. The pepper is not overpowering -- just adds a bit of a bite and a lot of flavor.

Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked to perfection. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 150 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-well.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also cook the pork tenderloin until the juices run clear when you poke it with a fork.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
- For a more flavorful sauce, you can add some chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, to the red pepper sauce.
- If you like a spicier sauce, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the red pepper sauce.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin with red pepper sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The pork tenderloin is cooked to perfection and the red pepper sauce is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
