Ingredients

1½ lb pork tenderloin
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1½ teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon crushed rosemary
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup butter, cut into thin pats
2 medium yellow onions, quartered
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped

Instructions

Mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, crushed rosemary, dried marjoram, salt, and black pepper. Using your hands, massage the rub over the whole pork tenderloin. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Add the pork tenderloin and vegetables to an oven-safe pan or cast-iron skillet. Arrange the vegetables on the side. Place the butter pats on the top of the seasoned pork tenderloin.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature is 145°Fahrenheit. Then, remove the pork to a cutting board, cover, and keep warm.
Return the vegetables to the oven for a few minutes or until tender. Slice the pork tenderloin and serve it with the vegetables.
