This Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin recipe is one of our family's top 5 favorites! Thanks to the flavorful mix of seasonings in the dry rub and our easy cooking instructions, this recipe turns out perfectly every time.
In small bowl stir together garlic powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, ground thyme, and salt until well combined.
Place the pork tenderloin on a rimmed baking sheet.* Rub the seasoning on all sides of the pork tenderloin (just until it's covered; you won't use all the seasoning), pressing so the seasoning adheres well. Tip: Place remaining seasoning in an air-tight container to use on chicken or pork in the future.
Bake until it reaches an internal temp of 140-145°F. This will take about 25 minutes, depending on the size of your pork tenderloin. Note: It will still be slightly pink inside!
Cover with foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes so the juices redistribute. (The temperature will also rise another 5°F during this time.) Slice on an angle and serve.
*Tip: Cover the sheet pan with parchment or foil for easier clean up.
Freezer Instructions
Freeze For Later: Follow Steps 2-3. Place the seasoned pork tenderloin in a gallon-sized freezer bag, squeeze out the air and seal tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months.Prepare From Frozen: Thaw the meal using one of these safe thawing methods. Place the pork on a rimmed sheet pan and follow Steps 4-5.
Notes/Tips
Sodium Note: Some pork tenderloin is injected with additives, including sodium. Always read the ingredients and look for one without any additives. If yours does have sodium in it, I would significantly reduce the salt in this recipe.
Pan-Searing Option: If you'd like, you can sear the pork on all sides before baking. (I never do this step because the recipe is so easy and delicious without it.) Here's how: Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it's shimmering. Carefully place tenderloin in the hot pan using tongs and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until the meat is browned evenly. Then, bake until internal temperature reaches 140-145°F.
Where We Buy Our Pork: We get our pork from ButcherBox. The chicken is organic and curated from trusted farms. We highly recommend this service to source healthy meat–like uncured bacon, grass-fed beef, and wild salmon–and have used it for years ourselves.
