About the Cut: Tenderloin

The tenderloin comes from the full pork loin. As the name indicates, the tenderloin is one of the most tender cuts of pork. Typically, pork tenderloin weighs between ¾ and 1 ½ pounds.

About the Cooking Method: Roasting

COOKING BASICS: 1) Preheat oven to 325 to 350 degrees F. (for pork tenderloin, roast at 450 degrees F.). 2) Trim much of the exterior fat from the roast; if roast has no fat cover, rub the surface with 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil. Season roast with herbs and other seasonings, if desired. 3) Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. 4) Do not cover; place in oven and roast to an internal temperature of 150 to 155 degrees F. for medium doneness. 5) Remove roast from oven. Allow it to "rest" for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. This resting period allows juices to redistribute. Internal temperature will rise approximately another 5 degrees F.

Buying, Handling & Storage Tips

Sealed, prepacked fresh pork cuts can be kept in the refrigerator 2 to 4 days.  If you do plan on keeping the raw, fresh pork longer than 2 to 3 days before cooking it, store it well-wrapped in the freezer.

Butcher's Tips

Pork tenderloin makes an elegant entrée for a small dinner party but also can be roasted or grilled whole for quick weeknight dinner. When sliced crosswise (like a loaf of French bread), the resulting medallions also may be sautéed.

Great, but cook time is way off
by anonymous 02/12/2013

I followed directions exactly and after 15 minutes it was nowhere near 165 degrees. Be aware your cook time will be longer! Maybe my tenderloins were thicker than usual, they were 1lb each?

 

Note from Carma @PBI:

Thank you for your review. Please note that National Pork Board's and USDA's cooking recommendations for pork tenderloin is to cook to 145F as measured by a meat thermometer and followed by a 3-minute rest.  The usual cooking time for a one pound pork tenderloin in 425F oven is about 15-20 minutes. Also the two pork tenderloins need to have some space between them on the pan during cooking. It is good to note though that ovens may vary slightly and these are recommended guidelines.
