    What Ingredients Do You Need For Pork Tenderloin

    If you want the overview of the ingredients, here’s what you’ll need:

    Chopped Garlic – the more the better. You will love garlic flavor in this recipe!
    Olive oil – I always use extra virgin olive oil.
    Herbs – I used Italian Seasoning, but Herbs de Provence is a good choice too.
    Pork tenderloin – I love using about 1 pound tenderloin in this recipe. It’s so easy cut it into small pieces. Tenderloin packs a lot of flavor and it’s pretty tender, but still affordable.
    Salt & Pepper – to season to your liking.

    Equipment needed to make Oven Roasted Tenderloin

    Oven proof skillet – I used cast iron, but you can also make it with a dutch oven or on a baking sheet.
    Small plate or bowl – You will need it to prepare the topping for the tenderloin.
    Pastry brush – the brush will allow you to spread the topping evenly over the pork. You can also use a spoon.

    Ready to make this oven roasted pork tenderloin?

    • Start by preheating the oven at 350 F. Going low on heat is the way to make this pork tenderloin juicy and not dry.
    • Now let’s generously season it with salt and pepper. Then cover the tenderloin with the mustard using a pastry brush:

    Using a pastry brush, cover the tenderloin with the herb mixture. All around.Pork Tenderloin

    Make sure to cover the tenderloin on top and all sides, except the bottom:Pork Tenderloin

    Place the tenderloin in an oven safe skillet, such as cast iron or dutch oven. You can also roast it on a baking sheet. Roast the pork at 350 F. for approximately 30 minutes.

    Pork safe cooking temperature

    Always use a meat thermometer to determine whether your pork loin is done. It should register at 145 F. At this point the pork tenderloin will be slightly pink, which is perfectly normal. But you can also cook it until the internal temperature reaches between 145° and 160° F, and it will be slightly more done and white in color at that point.

    Let the pork rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve.

      What a great dinner! I served this with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I didn’t get any mustard flavor, will add whole grain to the dijon next time. Great dish!

      This recipe is not difficult to do. However, I have to find herbs to suit the mustard. It’s a great idea to enjoy with slices of bread or rice. Thanks Olya!

        I agree the Italian seasoning did not suit me either…. I substituted some onion and garlic powder, cumin and a pinch of smoked paprika and cayenne. Awesome 5 stars!!!!!

        I would say yes if you want crispy crust, but then you risk overcooking the tenderloin. The crust shouldn’t be crispy though. Mine wasn’t.
