We eat a lot of pork here at the 365 home and I shop for it at my local Bashas’, in the fresh meat department.
With their great selection of Smithfield Prime Fresh Pork and because it’s so versatile, I can cook up some pork chops, put it in the slow cooker, make medallions with it and so much more.
Yet, I think the way we like it most is roasted. It’s easy to make and the flavor is fantastic.
Bashas’ wants to help save you money this holiday season and make it easier for you to make my Dijon Herb Roasted Pork.

I couldn’t have been more pleased with the way this recipe turned out and I think you’ll really enjoy it, too! My family loved it and they even gave it 4 rolling pins from my old rating system. I know that Smithfield Prime Fresh Pork had a lot to do with that because not all pork is created equal.
Their pork is made right here in the good ol’ USA. It doesn’t contain hormones, steroids or ractopamine (a feed additive to promote leanness in animals raised for their meat), is gluten-free, and is 20% more tender than the other leading brand for natural pork.

- Place the mustard coated side of the tenderloin onto the rack in the prepared baking pan.
- Cover with remaining Dijon mustard and herb mixture.
- Bake for 25 - 30 minutes per pound (calculate based on weight of one tenderloin. Cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat measures an internal temperature of 150 degrees F. Allow pork to stand 10 minutes before serving. It will be slightly pink in the center.
Cranberry Pear Chutney
