  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to the proper temperature. The internal temperature of the pork should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:
