Instructions

    • 1

      Marinate the pork tenderloin in your favorite marinade (try teriyaki or soy sauce), overnight or at least for a couple of hours.

    • 2

      When you're ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

    • 3

      Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and place on a baking sheet. If you didn't marinade the pork, season with salt, pepper, and your favorite seasoning. Make sure to season both sides of the tenderloin.

    • 4

      Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the pork for about 25 to 35 minutes, depending on your oven.

    • 5

      The internal temperature of the pork should be 160 degrees when it is done. Use a meat thermometer to check it.

    • 6

      Remove from the oven, allow to rest for 10 minutes or so, and serve.

Tips & Warnings

  • Cooking times are an estimate. Always ensure pork is cooked to the correct temperature by using an instant read thermometer.
