- 3 (1-pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 medium orange bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Kosher salt for seasoning, plus 2 teaspoons
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/4 cups red wine, such as Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2 1/2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 (15-ounce) can tomato puree
- 1 dried bay leaf
- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Pork: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Rub 1 tablespoon of the oil over the pork and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat.
- Add the pork and brown it on all sides, about 8 minutes.
- Transfer the pork to a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish and roast it until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 165 degrees F, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board.
- Sauce: In the same skillet used for the pork, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, peppers and garlic and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Cook, stirring frequently until softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the wine and cook for 2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in the paprika, tomato puree and the bay leaf.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaf and transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Season with 2 tablespoons salt and pepper, to taste.
- Slice the pork thinly and arrange on a platter.
- Spoon the sauce on top, garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
