Provided by Tiffany

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 or 2 ½ pound pork tenderloins ((see note))
1 tablespoon oil
2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon, lime, or orange juice ((or 1 tablespoon of each))
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika ((optional but highly recommended))
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and lightly grease a large baking/casserole dish. Pierce tenderloins all over with a fork. Rub oil onto all sides of the meat.
  • Whisk together Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, salt, chili powder, smoked paprika (if using) and black pepper. Sprinkle mixture over tenderloin(s), patting it onto the surface of the meat on all sides. Place in prepared baking dish and drizzle lemon/lime juice over the top.
  • Bake for 25-35 minutes until outside is browned and crispy and centers are cooked through to desired doneness (you can take them out on the early side if you like the centers a little pink).

Categories     Dinner

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.

Tips:

  • To ensure a juicy and tender pork tenderloin, choose one that is evenly thick throughout. If you find one with a thinner end, tie it with butcher's twine to create a more uniform shape.
  • Don't overcrowd the roasting pan. Make sure there is enough space around the tenderloin so that it can cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature should read 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well done.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Pork tenderloin is a versatile and flavorful cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you choose to bake it in the oven, grill it, or pan-fry it, following these tips will help you achieve a perfectly cooked pork tenderloin every time.
