Ingredients
– 1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra light, vegetable, or avocado oil)
– 1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
– 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
Instructions
1-Diving into this Roasted Pork Tenderloin Recipe starts with simple steps that lead to juicy, flavorful meat every time. Begin by preheating your oven to 400ยฐF and positioning the rack in the middle for even cooking. This method, including trimming fat and silver skin from the tenderloin and patting it dry, sets the stage for a delicious result. For more ideas on seasoning, check out our guide to other pork recipes on the blog.
2-Next, pierce the pork tenderloin all over with a fork to help seasonings penetrate deeply, which can skip the need for long marinating. Rub the tenderloin with 1 tablespoon of oil, then mix the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground coriander in a small bowl. Sprinkle this dry rub evenly over the meat and rub it in with your hands for full coverage.
3-Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat, then sear the pork on all sides for about 6 minutes to lock in juices. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake uncovered for 13-15 minutes, flipping halfway through until it reaches at least 150ยฐF internally. Let the pork rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing into medallions and serving.
