Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin Recipe
Description
The Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin Recipe highlights pork tenderloins evenly coated with a dry rub containing salt, brown sugar, black pepper, garlic and onion powders, paprika, oregano, and thyme. Olive oil is used to help the rub stick and encourage browning. Roasting at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes cooks the meat thoroughly while retaining moisture inside.
The resting period under loosely tented foil allows the internal temperature to reach 145°F and juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful pork. The seasoning mix balances savory, sweet, and herbal notes to enhance the natural pork flavor without overpowering it.
This tenderloin pairs well with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad and can be sliced for sandwiches or served as a main protein. Using a thermometer to check doneness is important for optimal juiciness and safety. Trimming excess fat or silverskin improves texture and appearance.
Proper seasoning application, temperature control, meat trimming, and resting time are key tips for best results with this recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 package of 2 pork tenderloin 1 lb - 1.5 lbs each *pork tenderloins usually come in a pack of 2
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salt sea salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- parsley optional, fresh chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Trim the pork tenderloins, removing any excess fat or silver skin. Pat the pork dry using a paper towel. Place the pork tenderloins in a shallow roasting pan or baking dish.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the pork tenderloins. Rub the entire surface of the pork with olive oil, ensuring an even coating.
- Combine sea salt, brown sugar, ground black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, and dried thyme in a small bowl. Mix well.
- Rub the prepared dry rub onto all sides of the pork tenderloins, ensuring even coverage.
- Roast the pork in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 140°.
- After removing the pan from the oven, loosely cover the pork with a piece of foil. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes to allow the internal temperature to rise to 145 degrees Fahrenheit and for the juices to redistribute. You want the middle to be a little bit pink for the juiciest results.
- Transfer the rested roast to a cutting board. Slice the pork tenderloin into desired portions and place on a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious and perfectly cooked pork tenderloin with your favorite sides!
Notes
- Trim excess fat and silverskin from pork tenderloin before seasoning to improve texture and flavor absorption.
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm internal temperature reaches 140°F before resting, allowing it to rise to 145°F for safety and juiciness.
- Rest the meat covered loosely with foil for about 10 minutes after roasting to redistribute juices evenly.
- Ensure dry rub is evenly applied on all sides for consistent flavor.
