We have successfully completed our quest for the easy, delicious, and moist dutch oven tenderloin that we’ve long been looking for. Great to eat as a tenderloin with potatoes, or to shred up the leftovers for a pulled pork sandwich. (Though for amazing pulled pork, you should go check out my carnitas)

Dutch Oven Pork Tenderloin
Easy, moist, and delicious. All you could want out of a dutch oven pork tenderloin. This dinner is set it and forget it.
Begin preheating your dutch oven on the stove over medium-high heat. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Season your pork tenderloin with salt and pepper.
Add the tenderloin to the dutch oven, and sear all sides. Sprinkle the caraway seeds on top.
Add the chicken broth, Maggi, and garlic to the dutch oven.
Cover your Dutch Oven and place in the preheated oven for 3 hours.
After 3 hours your tenderloin should be tender and moist, and your stock should have reduced a bit.
Shred or slice pork to serve. The broth serves as a tasty au jus.
Notes
I had never even heard of Maggi until I met my husband. It is the secret ingredient to many Polish recipes and adds an amazing savory flavor to this recipe.
Suggested serving. Slice cooked tenderloin and pour the reduced cooking stock over the top. Roasted vegetables on the side highly recommended.
Are you using American brand Maggi? Just looked it up and apparently every country makes their own unique flavor of Maggi. Not sure if you’re using imported Polish Maggi.
Hi Gina, Excellent question!
If we’re in the Chicagoland area and have Polish delis with Polish Maggi readily available, we go with that. Otherwise we go with the American brand Maggie and it does well enough that we don’t notice a significant different in the flavor.
