EASY Pork Tenderloin In Oven Recipe - So Simple, So TASTY!

Before cooking, remove silver skin from pork tenderloin.

Let tenderloin rest for 15 - 30 minutes to allow it to come closer to room temperature, which will provide more consistent results.

Apply Olive Oil thoroughly. The 1 TBSP is an estimate, use as little or as much as needed.

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F.

Place pan in the oven while it heats, allow the pan to get hot. I use a broiler pan as stated in the post and line the bottom with foil...makes for an easy clean up.

Season. These directions provide for a simple salt and pepper mix but you can season this with whatever you want! Use a pre-made spice mix or experiment with different mixes. We have a few different easy to make pork rubs listed on this site.

Remove pan (careful, it will be hot) and place tenderloin on pan. Place back in oven.

Allow it to cook for about 20 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 - 160 (we prefer closer to 145). It can dry out quickly if overcooked.

Allow it to rest for about 5 - 10 minutes. If your cutting board is filled with juices, you may have cut it too soon! Cut into medallions and serve.
