    Best Damn Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin

    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.

      My family loved this. Very juicy and tender. Cooked it for 25 minutes and it was the best damn pork tenderloin I ever had.

      I have struggled in the past with making pork tenderloin and it turning out dry, but this recipe is the bomb, and the flavor is amazing and the best tasting pork tenderloin I have ever made. The pork tenderloin turned out very flavorful, juicy and not dry at all. My grandson and husband loved it. I will definitely be making this recipe over and over again.

      OMG!! This is the best tasting pork tenderloin I’ve ever tasted. Air fryed for approximately 22-25 min and the pork came out juicy tender and formed a beautiful crust with the rub. So easy and quick! Great for making sandwiches the next day as well and full of flavour. I also added 1/4 tsp. cayenne powder as stated in your ‘air fryer’ recipe and it topped it up a notch. My favourite recipe to go to now. Thank you RecipeTeacher!

      I’m only using one tenderloin, do I cut the seasonings In half?

        Yes indeed you can cut the seasonings in half. Or, just save any leftover seasoning for the next time you make it.

      I have made this pork tenderloin at least a dozen times. I use my own favorite rub but otherwise follow this recipe and directions and the results are always spot on. This roast is always a hit.

      Hi! Should I cover the pork with foil in the oven?

      Fantastic recipe. We found the same brand of pork tenderloin (2 pieces per package) as shown in the article and followed the instructions exactly. We sprinkled the seasoning generously, but only used about half of the mixture. I saved the remaining seasoning in an empty spice jar. The pork came out perfectly tender and juicy and absolutely delicious. We will be serving this as the star of the feast for our Thanksgiving dinner!
