Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin
Description
The pork tenderloin is carefully trimmed of any membrane or thin skin, then evenly coated with a butter-based marinade infused with lemon juice and Italian seasoning. This mixture adds moisture, acidity, and herbaceous seasoning to the meat's surface.
Cooking the tenderloin in the air fryer at 400°F for around 22 minutes ensures the meat becomes juicy inside with a flavorful crust outside. Using a meat thermometer to confirm an internal temperature of 145°F helps achieve perfectly cooked pork. Resting the meat for five minutes after cooking allows juices to redistribute.
This pork tenderloin can be sliced and served alongside vegetables, salads, or starches for a satisfying meal. The herb seasoning complements various side dishes without overpowering the pork's natural flavor.
