Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pork tenderloins (about 1 lb each)
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons EACH: onion powder and garlic powder
1 teaspoon EACH: oregano, salt, and pepper
1 tablespoon cooking oil
½ cup beef broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon butter (can sub ghee for dairy-free)
Minced parsley (to serve)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Dry the pork tenderloins well with paper towels.
  • Mix the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Rub this spice mix over all sides of the pork.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork, working in 2 batches if your pan is not big enough to fit both tenderloins without them touching. Sear the pork on all sides until it is brown, about 6 minutes total. Take the pan off the heat.
  • Move the pork to a baking dish. If the spices left in the pan are black, wipe them away with a paper towel. Return the pan to the heat and add the beef broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck-on bits then boil for 1 minute until it reduces to about ¼ cup. Pour this sauce over the pork.
  • Pour the apple cider vinegar over the pork then dot the top with the butter. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  • Bake the pork for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Serve with a little minced parsley, for color.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt
1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In separate bowl mix dry ingredients such as garlic powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, thyme and salt. Stir mixture with a fork until all the ingredients are well combined and they form a seasoning. This will be used as a rub to ensure the pork is well seasoned throughout. Sprinkle the rub over the tenderloin with a dry hand, then rub the pork with the seasoning over both sides of the meat, pressing gently so the seasoning adheres well to the tenderloin.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat. Add the minced garlic and saute, stirring, for 1 minute. Put tenderloin in the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, searing each side using tongs to turn the meat. Transfer meat to a roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes. Slice and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose a tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight. This will ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels before seasoning it. This will help the seasoning to adhere better.
  • Season the tenderloin generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
  • Sear the tenderloin in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side. This will help to lock in the juices and create a nice crust.
  • Transfer the tenderloin to a baking dish and roast it in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Pork tenderloin is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Oven-baked pork tenderloin is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect pork tenderloin every time.
