    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.

      Hi, I came across your recipe and it sounds fabulous. I was reading some comments which made me think of a question. The ground mustard, is that stone ground mustand, or powdered dry mustard? Inititally I was thinking stone ground, hearty, thick, but one person said they didn’t have dry powdered mustard so used Dijon instead. Can you clarify?

      This was perfect! I found it because I searched pork tenderloin 425 degrees, as I planned to cook it with some roasted potatoes. The pork was perfectly cooked after 25 minutes. I used a digital thermometer and it was a bit over 145, so I was afraid it would be overdone. It wasn’t. Maybe I stuck the thermometer in closer to the end than the middle. After resting, it was the most perfectly cooked tenderloin I’d ever cooked.

      I love the rub, too. I’ve used a similar one of bone-in pork chops. The brown sugar is key!

      This is a family favorite. I always seem to forget the grab ground mustard, so I substitute it will regular mustard and turns out great! It really is the best Damn pork loin!

      This recipe produced a high paprika flavoured result. This is not at all my favourite recipe for tenderloin.
