Ranch-Rubbed Pork Loin

Steps (7)

1. 1

   Rub the Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix Shaker all over the pork loin. Season with the pepper. Let rest at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
2. 2

   Preheat oven to 350°F.
3. 3

   Add 2 tablespoons oil to a large (12-inch) ovenproof sauté pan and, just when the oil begins to swirl, add the pork loin and sear on all sides until golden, about 3 minutes each side. Remove to a plate.
4. 4

   Toss the potatoes in the oil left in the pan. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Rub into the pork on all sides. Then place back into the pan and into the oven and surround with the sweet potatoes.
5. 5

   Bake, stirring the sweet potatoes once or twice, until the pork is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are softened, about 40 minutes for medium.
6. 6

   Remove the meat to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Skim off the excess fat from the pan.
7. 7

   Toss the sweet potatoes with the Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing. Keep warm until ready to serve.
