PERFECT PORK TENDERLOIN image

Categories     Pork

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb boneless pork tenderloin (approximate)
salt and pepper
dry seasoning, of your choice (thyme, savory, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, or a mixture)
e.g. (4 large garlic cloves, pressed, 4 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper )

Steps:

  • Directions Determine the EXACT weight of roast from the meat wrapper. Weight will determine how long to cook the roast. Preheat oven to 500-550 degrees. Remove tenderloin from refrigerator. Season meat as desired. Place seasoned meat in an uncovered roasting pan. Bake EXACTLY 5 1/2 minutes PER POUND. Adjust +/- according to your oven's accuracy and heat retention. Turn oven OFF and DO NOT open oven door for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes to redistribute internal juices. Roast will be done, very slightly pink in the center, and very moist. After resting 5-10 minutes, the roast should reach 145-150 degrees. VARIATION: To make Roasted Veggies along with the tenderloin, peel carrots and potatoes, and cut into about 1-inch cubes. Season as desired and drizzle with a little oil. Add vegetables to pan around (but NOT touching) pork tenderloin. Cook tenderloin as instructed above. The roasted potatoes and carrots should be done when the roast is done. You may need to adjust the size of the potatoes and carrots depending upon the weight of your tenderloin and how long you cook it.
