Pork tenderloin, a lean and tender cut of meat, is a versatile ingredient that can be prepared in a variety of ways. This article presents two flavorful recipes for pork tenderloin, each with a unique crust that adds a delightful layer of flavor and texture.
The first recipe features a mustard-peppercorn crust, a classic combination that delivers a savory and slightly spicy kick. The mustard and peppercorns create a flavorful coating that pairs perfectly with the tender pork, while the addition of herbs like thyme and rosemary adds a touch of aromatic complexity.
The second recipe showcases a pecan-herb crust, a creative and crunchy twist on the traditional pork tenderloin. The pecans provide a nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch, while the herbs add a burst of freshness. This recipe also includes a delicious Dijon mustard sauce, which complements the pork and crust perfectly.
Both recipes are relatively easy to prepare and can be enjoyed for a special occasion dinner or a casual weeknight meal. The mustard-peppercorn crust is a great option for those who enjoy bold and savory flavors, while the pecan-herb crust is a delightful choice for those who prefer a sweeter and more nutty flavor profile.

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.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- 2. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, toast the mustard seeds until fragrant. Using a mortar and pestle lightly crush the mustard seeds. In a small bowl combine the mustard seeds and the panko.
- 3. Using 2 tablespoons of the olive oil rub the pork and season on all sides with gray salt and pepper, to taste, and roll in the panko mustard seed mixture to coat the tenderloins all over.
- 4. In a large saute pan heat the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil until hot but not smoking, add tenderloins to pan and sear on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Move pan with pork to the oven and cook until a meat thermometer reads 155 degrees F, about 10 to 12 minutes.

MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN
This savory-sweet treatment for pork tenderloin was brought to The Times in 1989 by the inimitable Marian Burros. With just five ingredients - pork, brown sugar, whole-grain mustard, rosemary and sherry - you have an extremely simple though supremely satisfying dish. We like ours served with mashed sweet potatoes and a pile of sautéed greens, and the leftovers make great sandwiches.

Steps:
- Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
- Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add pork tenderloins and turn to coat well with marinade. Marinate for 15 minutes or as long as overnight.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until smoking. (Alternately, heat a charcoal or gas grill to high; bank coals or turn off burner on one side.) Season tenderloins with salt and pepper. Brush pan with olive oil and add tenderloins; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, turning tenderloins every 3 to 4 minutes, until deeply caramelized on all sides and until desired internal temperature, about 20 to 25 minutes. (You can also broil the tenderloins in the oven - about 10 minutes on one side, then turn and cook about 5 minutes on the other.)
- Remove and lightly tent with foil; let rest about 10 minutes before cutting into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices.

PAN-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH HERB-AND-MUSTARD CRUST
I developed this recipe based on what I had on hand: rosemary fresh from the pot on my balcony, a Niman Ranch pork tenderloin, and a brand-new jar of dijon mustard. The result is an incredibly flavorful, relatively quick dinner that is also pretty low in fat (you could use a nonstick pan and less oil for even lighter results, though the searing will not be as good). Great with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies for a simple weeknight meal that's fit for guests.

Steps:

- salt to form a paste.
- Combine fennel-garlic mixture with chopped rosemary, mixture will be crumbly.
- Sprinkle the pork tenderloin with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
- Rub dijon mustard all over surface of the meat.
- Pat the herb mixture onto the surface of the meat, it should adhere to the mustard.
- Place a cast iron skillet (or other heavy-bottomed skillet) over medium heat till hot.
- Add oil, allow oil to get quite hot, just before the smoking point.
- Add the tenderloin to the pan.
- DO NOT TOUCH IT FOR AT LEAST TWO MINUTES!

- You can deglaze the pan with a little white wine or lemon juice to make a delicious pan sauce.
Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked to the desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, or 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
- For a more flavorful crust, marinate the pork tenderloin in the mustard-peppercorn mixture for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the pork tenderloin to an even thickness.
- Be careful not to overcook the pork tenderloin, as it can become dry and tough.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, green beans, or a salad.
