Overview & Ingredients
To make pork tenderloin, you’ll typically season it, sear it for color, then roast or finish it in the oven until it reaches a safe internal temperature. Common ingredients include: pork tenderloin (1–2 lb), salt, black pepper, garlic (fresh or powder), olive oil, and optional herbs/spices like rosemary, thyme, paprika, or a spice rub. For a simple pan sauce, you may also use butter, chicken broth, and a splash of lemon juice or vinegar.

Step-by-Step Method
1) Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Pat the tenderloin dry and trim any silver skin if needed. 2) Season generously with salt and pepper, plus your chosen spices. 3) Heat a skillet over medium-high with a little oil. Sear the tenderloin 2–3 minutes per side until browned. 4) Transfer to a baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Roast until the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C). This usually takes about 15–25 minutes depending on size. 5) Rest 5–10 minutes before slicing (carryover cooking helps). Optional: deglaze the skillet with broth, then simmer briefly and whisk in butter for a quick sauce.

Health & Safety Note
Use a food thermometer—pork is safe at 145°F (63°C) with a short rest. Avoid cross-contamination: wash hands, utensils, and surfaces after handling raw pork. If you have immune issues or are cooking for someone high-risk, consider extra caution and follow your clinician’s guidance.
