How to Cook Boneless Pork Tenderloin

Many seasoning options work well with pork tenderloin.

Pork tenderloin is lean, healthy, and really easy to cook for a quick weeknight meal. Pork tenderloins usually come two to a package, so roast them both and you'll have leftovers for later in the week.

Things You'll Need

• Whole pork tenderloin
• Baking sheet
• Salt
• Pepper
• Cajun seasoning
• Marinade (optional)
• Oven
• Meat thermometer

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.
