24 ounces pork tenderloin, cut into 4 pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour; cook until mixture is dark golden brown, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Add bell pepper and onion; sauté 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in broth. Add sausage and cayenne; increase heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper.

Transfer skillet to oven; roast pork until thermometer registers 160°F, about 10 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Let stand 5 minutes. Slice pork 1/2 inch thick. Divide among 4 plates. Rewarm gravy. Mix in parsley. Pour gravy over pork and serve.
