Delicious Roasted Pork Tenderloin Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin (trimmed and cleaned)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for marinating)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder (for seasoning)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary (dried or fresh, chopped)
  • 1 lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, rosemary, and lemon juice.

    Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  3. Marinate the Pork

    Rub the marinade all over the pork tenderloin and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

    For best results, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Sear the Pork

    In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides until browned.

    This helps to lock in the juices.
  5. Roast in the Oven

    Transfer the seared pork to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.

    Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. Rest the Meat

    Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

    Resting helps the juices redistribute for a tender cut.
  7. Serve

    Slice the pork tenderloin and serve with your favorite sides.

    Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
