Fireman Bobs Unique Dutch Oven Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Steps:

• For the pork tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the peppercorns in a resealable bag and crush them coarsely with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
• Mix together the salt, peppercorns, thyme, rosemary and crushed red pepper, if using, in a bowl. Season the pork with the seasoning mix.
• Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the pork and cook, turning as needed to brown the pork all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until cooked through (145 degrees F on a meat thermometer), 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent with foil to rest.
• For the herby mustard cream sauce: Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat. Melt the butter, then add the garlic, thyme and rosemary and cook for a minute or two Sprinkle over the flour and cook, stirring, for an additional minute. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the cream thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the whole-grain mustard and parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Slice the pork and shingle it onto a platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the top and sprinkle over some chopped parsley. Transfer the remaining sauce to a sauceboat or serving bowl and serve alongside the pork.

Steps:

• Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, cinnamon, fennel seeds, parsley, red pepper flakes, roasted red peppers, and salt and pepper. Mix all together very tenderly ( don't over mix , just bring together )
• Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape when rolled into meatballs. NOTE: *** Only use enough water to get moist consistency ***
• Shape into 24 meatballs.
• Place the extra virgin olive oil, tomato juice, tomato paste in a large 9 x 13 oven pan. Stir to make a sauce.
• Place meatballs in pan and cover. NOTE: *** You will want to use 2 pans so meatballs have room and not touching each other *** Cook 2 hour at 250 degrees or until done. Serve with warmed crusty bread and sauce and napkins https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/other-bread/the-best-crusty-bread-dutch-oven.html?p=7 *** They Freeze Well Too *** Enjoy !
• Enro Gay's Version for a Family Gathering with her Gravy...
• Enro Gay... " Hello, Bob... the meatballs were a huge success. I reduced the recipe by using 4 pounds meat (2 ground beef, 1 veal and 1 pork sausage) and used dry Italian bread crumbs in place of day-old bread (and adjusting other ingredient amounts to match). Since these were made for homemade meatball subs, I made them much smaller and cooked them a short time in the oven before transferring to my slow cooker. "
• " I did not use your "gravy" as outlined above, but used this instead: "
• Small onion, fine chopped Small green pepper, fine chopped 2 cloves garlic, fine chopped 3 Tbsp EVOO 6 ounce tomato paste 1/4 cup dry red wine 3/4 cup chicken broth 2-15 ounce cans tomato sauce 1 tsp dried oregano 3/4 tsp dried basil 1 tsp sugar Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
• Saute onion and green pepper in EVOO for a couple minutes, add the garlic and cook another minute. Then add the tomato paste and wine, stirring for another minute or so. Then add the chicken broth, tomato sauce and spices, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for about 3 hours... YUMMY!
• " I made it the night before, then warmed in up, transferred sauce to the slow cooker and added the meatballs to simmer on low until we got ready to eat. I will make the dinner size meatballs next time and serve to my hubby with spaghetti, a favorite of his. Thanks for a wonderful meatball recipe! "
• " Absolutely... feel free! Even though the sauce and meatballs were sealed up in my locking-lid slow cooker, my mother and I could smell this during our 1.5 hour trip to see my son... just about drove us crazy! :-) "
• " Ummm.. Thank You again... it DOES have that quality!!! Lol!!! " HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY!!!!!!!

Steps:

• 1. Heat olive oil in dutch oven or skillet over medium; brown pork tenderloin on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside. Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken broth and stir to remove brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• 2. If using covered roasting pan transfer liquid and onions now.
• 3. Add potatoes, carrots, fire roasted tomatoes, Worcestershire Sauce, oregano, basil, onion powder and garlic powder. Stir to coat vegetables. Place roast on top of vegetables, cover and bake for 325 degrees for 1 hour or just until vegetables are tender. Remove pork tenderloin to cutting board. Remove vegetables to bowl. Whisk together 1/4 cup chicken broth and cornstarch. Place cooked broth from roasting pan in large saucepan over low heat (this can also be done right in the dutch oven) whisk in cornstarch mixture; continue whisking and cooking until slightly thickened. Cut roast and add it and the vegetables to the gravy. Stir gently to combine and simmer over low just until warmed.
• 4. NOTES If you like your pork tenderloin a little less done remove it about 20-30 minutes early and wrap in a loose tent foil. Place the rest of the vegetables, broth and tomatoes back in the oven and finish cooking until fork tender. Once the vegetables are done remove them from the pan, make the gravy, slice the pork tenderloin and add it and the vegetables back to the pan.
