    Recipe for oven roasted pork tenderloin

    Perfectly seasoned and roasted to perfection in your oven, this pork tenderloin is buttery tender, juicy, and so delicious! With easy ingredients and simple steps, it’s the perfect family meal.

    Oven roasted pork tenderloin recipe

    Pork tenderloin is one of the finest cuts of meat. It’s very lean and tender and can be seasoned any number of wonderful ways. For this recipe we’ll use a combination of simple pantry ingredients to season the pork, before roasting it in the oven for about 30 minutes.

    Make Sure It’s Pork Tenderloin

    There’s a few cuts of pork that have similar sounding names. Be sure the packaging clearly says pork tenderloin. They are basically long and slender and weigh around ¾lb to 1 ½lbs each. It’s also quite common to find them in 2-packs. Other similar names including pork loin, pork loin filet and pork roast are NOT pork tenderloin and require different cooking steps.

    Simple Pantry Ingredients

    I love to make recipes where I have most of the ingredients already on hand. For this roasted pork tenderloin, we’ll use a simple rub which includes brown sugar, salt, pepper, ground mustard, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and a hint of cayenne (optional, be really good).

    Easy Preparation

    Another reason I love making this recipe is because it’s so simple to prepare. All you have to do is mix the ingredients together, rub some olive oil on the meat, and then coat it well with the seasoning rub. Place it into a baking dish or pan and into the oven it goes. No need to sear this recipe first, that’s one less step we needn’t worry about. Just rub the seasoning on and it’s ready to go in the oven!

    Roast at 425° (F) for 25-30 minutes

    We want the pork tenderloin to have an internal temperature of 145°(F). An instant read thermometer is an essential tool everyone should have on hand. After 25 minutes, check the thickest part of the meat. Once the internal temp is at least 145°(F), you’re good to remove from the oven. Set the pork tenderloin on a plate and let it sit for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

      Made this tonight and it was top shelf. We get our pork from a local farm and it is very good quality, but I had never done a tenderloin before so this was a great start. Served it up with yukon gold potatoes and steamed green beans along with a nice Malbec.

          Sarah get yourself Thermo Pro digital food thermometer. All you have to do is set the internal temp to what the recipe calls for and stick it in the oven. It will beep when done. Best kitchen product I ever purchased.

        I just threw in some potatoes with the tenderloin. Did the same thing – small potatoes, coat in a little oil, sprinkle salt and pepper and put them beside the meat.

      I can make pretty much any cut of pork . But pork tenderloin always, always intimidates me.Either it’s so tough or dry. I have it in my mind that pork, this cut has to be cooked to death because it’s pork. I buy it to make an attempt to cook it as a whole but then ALWAYS cook it shred it and make tacos or pulled pork sandwiches & always I hate to admit, waste it and throw out. I could of looked up recipes but didn’t. This time I followed this recipe to a T and it was so easy and the flavor, taste and tenderness of this pork was excellent. This is the recipe l am going to use forever.I made this original recipe I’m sure I will make adjustments but your recipe is the base and I’ll go from there. Yay!
