How to cook Pork Tenderloin

Y’all I love pork tenderloin.

I discovered pork tenderloin a few years back, and then I created this divine sweet heat pork tenderloin cooked sous vide. But not everyone has a sous vide tool so I kept working with it, and that’s when this chimmichurri pork tenderloin on the grill, was created. And now finally we’ve got today’s recipe: Lemon Rosemary Pork Tenderloin roasted in the oven.

Pork Tenderloin is such a joy to work with, fairly inexpensive, super flavorful, and very tender. This lemon rosemary pork tenderloin recipe is easy to follow. However, be warned, it does include some planning ahead, as you’ll want to brine the pork, but it’s worth every bit of forethought y’all!

Brining Pork

In my Pomegranate Roasted Rack of Pork recipe I shared my secret to always getting flavorful and moist pork: Brining.

I said:

If you’ve followed my blog regularly then you know I am a firm believer in brining meats. Sometimes it is not absolutely necessary, other times it is the key to a perfect meat… Brining is especially great for cuts and types of meat that tend to dry out during the cooking process. For example, pork. There are precious few meats, if any, that benefit more from the brining process than pork. So for this recipe, DO NOT skip the brine!

I reiterate what I said before, do not skip the brine when it comes to pork! It’ll change your pork world!

What to serve with pork tenderloin:

Pork tenderloin is a lean meat so if serving this for dinner, I highly suggest serving it with something rich and hearty:

  • Polenta
  • Creamed Spinach
  • Mashed Potatoes
  • Coconut or Creamy Rice

  • Cobb Salad
  • Vegetable Lo Mein
  • Soup
  • Vegetable Egg Rolls
