Recipe Summary
This pork tenderloin recipe may look restaurant-quality, but it requires only 10 ingredients (including salt, pepper, and olive oil!) and will be on the table in about a half hour. Searing the pork on the stovetop before finishing cooking in the oven is a step that pays off twice. First, that gorgeous browning gives the pork tenderloin big flavor. Secondly, the fat left in the pan seasons the gnocchi as they cook to a beautiful golden brown. The crispy gnocchi is then added to a quick sauce made of plump grape tomatoes and aromatic fennel, finished with creamy butter. It's the perfect saucy sidekick for the juicy pork tenderloin.
