Our No-Fail Method for Cooking Pork Tenderloin

Pork tenderloin is lean and has almost no fat. So keeping it moist and juicy can be tricky. That is unless you know these stepsfor the most succulent roasted pork tenderloin. You don't need a specific recipe for this, only the steps for cooking it best. The flavors are up to you — we've given a few suggestions below. We use the same method when making our pork tenderloin with peppers and onions.

Step 1: Season the Pork

For the best pork tenderloin, pat the pork dry then liberally season with salt and pepper. Patting the meat dry helps the salt and pepper to stick. It also means less sputtering in the skillet when you brown the meat.

Step 2: Brown the Pork in a Skillet

Before roasting, we always sear the pork on all sides first. After seasoning, throw it into a hot pan — we love our cast iron skillet for this. Sear all sides until they are golden brown. It's okay if the pork is still raw in the middle.

When the pork is browned on all sides, it's ready to slide into the oven. If you're using any herbs or seasonings, now is the time to add them.

You could have added herbs before searing the pork, but that risks buring them. By adding them after searing and before roasting, the herbs will add flavor, but won't turn brown and bitter.

Step 3: Finish in the Oven

To finish cooking the pork, we slide it into a hot oven. We keep the oven temperature high and roast the pork for 15 to 20 minutes.

Cook pork until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers between 145 and 150 degrees F. That will mean that the pork will be juicy and slightly pink in the middle. If you're not a fan of the pink, cook a little longer, but be careful not to overdo it.

In our Easy Lemon Chicken Recipe, we use the same method: Season, sear, and then finish in the oven until cooked through. It makes chicken that's perfectly cooked and juicy with crispy skin.

Step 4: Make a Quick Pan Sauce

For the juiciest pork tenderloin, make a quick pan sauce. To do this, using the same skillet you cooked the pork in, add about 3/4 cup of liquid. You could use apple cider (that is what we did), wine, chicken stock, vegetable stock or even beef broth. Cook that liquid until reduced by half then swirl in a tablespoon of butter.

Flavor Combinations

You may already have a bunch of half-used spice rubs in your pantry, here are a few suggestions for how to use them in this recipe. Our recipe calls for three things: pork, spice rub, and a deglazing liquid for making the pan sauce.

• A spicy rub with pepper, garlic, maybe some chipotle + Apple Cider, Apple Juice or Cranberry Juice
• Chicken Seasoning + Chicken Stock
• Steak Seasoning + Red Wine or Beef Broth
• Rosemary or Thyme Blends + Dry White Wine, Dry Red Wine, Beef Broth or Chicken Stock

Watch Us Make the Recipe

You Will Need

2 (1 to 1 1/2-pound) pork tenderloins (also called pork fillet)

Salt and fresh ground black pepper

2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

1 to 2 tablespoons seasoning blend/rub of your choice, fresh or dried

3/4 cup wine, broth, apple cider or a combination

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

• Prepare Pork

Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Trim each tenderloin of any silver skin (this can be tough when cooked. Use a small sharp knife and slide the blade under and outward to remove it). Pat pork dry with paper towels. Then generously season with salt and pepper.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed oven-safe frying pan over medium heat. Add the pork tenderloins and cook, occasionally turning, until browned all over, about 2 minutes per side. Scatter the seasoning blend or herbs over the pork.

Roast 10 to 15 minutes or until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers between 145 and 150 degrees F.

• To Finish

Transfer pork to a large plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest about 10 minutes. While pork is resting, place the skillet back over medium heat. Add the apple cider and simmer until reduced by half. Add butter then serve drizzled over pork.

Adam and Joanne's Tips

• When is Pork Tenderloin Done? We cook our pork to 145 degrees F. This means the pork will be barely pink in the middle, safe to eat, and ultra juicy. You can cook pork tenderloin to anywhere between 145 degrees F and 160 degrees F. Just keep in mind that keeping it as close to 145 degrees F will result in the juiciest, most tender piece of meat.
