Pork tenderloin is a lean and flavorful cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One popular method is to marinate the pork tenderloin before cooking, which helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. This article provides two delicious recipes for marinated pork tenderloin, each with its own unique basting sauce.

The first recipe is for a classic garlic and herb marinated pork tenderloin. The marinade is made with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and oregano, and the pork tenderloin is cooked in a roasting pan with a mixture of white wine and chicken broth. The second recipe is for a spicy chipotle marinated pork tenderloin. The marinade is made with chipotle peppers in adobo, orange juice, lime juice, and cumin, and the pork tenderloin is cooked on a grill or in a grill pan. Both recipes are served with a flavorful basting sauce that helps to keep the pork tenderloin moist and juicy.

Herb-Marinated Pork Tenderloins image

For a healthy main course, try Ina Garten's Herb-Marinated Pork Tenderloins recipe from Barefoot Contessa on Food Network � herbs add great flavor without fat.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lemon, zest grated
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 to 6 lemons)
Good olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt
3 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN



Mustard-Glazed Pork Tenderloin image

This pork tenderloin with a savory-sweet mustard glaze makes an elegant weeknight dinner or centerpiece roast.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pork tenderloins (1¾ to 2 lbs total)
½ cup (packed) light brown sugar
½ cup grainy Dijon mustard (such as Maille Rich Country Dijon Mustard Blend or Grey Poupon Country Dijon)
½ cup dry sherry
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
Salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for cooking
Freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 5 pieces

Steps:

  • Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, mustard, sherry, and rosemary.
  • Place the tenderloins in a baking dish or bowl. Season all over with 1¼ teaspoons salt and pour about one-third of the marinade over top. Turn the tenderloins a few times to coat evenly with the marinade. Marinate for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight (the longer, the better). Cover the remaining marinade and refrigerate until ready to use (it will form the base of the sauce).
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
  • Heat the oil in a large cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat (see note below if you don't have one of these pans). Add both tenderloins and sear on all sides until nicely browned, 6 to 8 minutes (don't move the tenderloins around between turns; they will brown better if left alone). Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the pork registers about 140°F on an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 15 minutes. (To check for doneness without a thermometer, make a slit in the thickest part of the loin; the meat should be mostly white with a slight hint of pale pink, and the juices should run mostly clear.)
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and immediately place an oven mitt or dishtowel over the handle to remind yourself that it is hot (it is easy to forget and burn yourself!). Transfer the tenderloins to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for about 10 minutes, then cut into ¼- to ½-inch slices.
  • Meanwhile, pour the remaining marinade into a small skillet and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and, stirring constantly, incorporate the butter one piece at a time. Add ⅛ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Arrange the sliced tenderloin on a platter and drizzle with a bit of the sauce; pass the remaining sauce at the table.
  • Note: If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, transfer the pork to a foil-lined sheet pan after searing. (The foil is just for easy cleanup.) You may need to add a few minutes to the baking time.
