Ingredients

For The Pork

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1.15 pounds Roasted Garlic and Cracked Black Pepper Smithfield seasoned pork tenderloin

For The Green Beans

1 pound fresh green beans , cleaned and ends trimmed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

For The Cranberry Sauce

6 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup pomegranate juice
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°.
Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of oil; swirl to coat. Add pork to pan; sauté 4 minutes. Turn pork over; place pan in oven for 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer registers 145°.
In the meantime, place green beans on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the 2 tablespoons olive oil, the salt and pepper; toss to coat thoroughly. Spread them out so they’re in a single layer. Roast for 10 minutes, stir, spread to a single layer again; roast for an additional 7-8 minutes until crisp tender and caramelized.
While the pork and green beans are roasting, mix together all of the ingredients for the cranberry sauce in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
Remove cooked pork from pan; place on a cutting board. Let stand 5 minutes.
Cut the pork into thin slices. Divide onto plates and serve with the cranberry sauce and green beans.
