Whether you call it sauce, or pan sauce or gravy, if you’re craving pork tenderloin with sauce, I’ve got you covered! I’ve also included my top tips for cooking pork tenderloin.
I think a sauce is especially nice when mashed potatoes are on the menu as well, but also great with rice, polenta, pasta or even gnocchi.
I'm rounding up 6 of my favourite pork tenderloin recipes that all have a fabulous sauce, because pork with sauce is always a good thing.
