    📕 What is pork Tenderloin?

    Pork tenderloin is also known as fillet, which is a long boneless meat cut in a pig.

    It's the most tender and usually most expensive meat cut in any animal.

    The tenderloin should not be confused with the loin, these are two different meat cuts.

    I have a recipe for a pork loin too.

    🥩 Ingredients

    This is a super simple, but flavorful, pork tenderloin roast.

    You will only need a handful of ingredients and the meat doesn't need to be marinated in advance.

    Here is what you will need:

    • pork tenderloin
    • garlic cloves - fresh
    • onion
    • lard or butter
    • broth
    • salt and black pepper
    • caraway or cumin seeds
    • water and all purpose flour to create a slurry (to thicken the sauce)
    seared and roasted pork tenderloin

    🔪 How to cook this pork tenderloin?

    This is a great recipe for beginners. I loved it and my sister loved it too because it taught her to cook pork fillet the right way in the oven.

    Here is a visual overview of how it's done. The recipe with US and metric measurements is located further below in the printable recipe card.

    Step 1

    Peel and cut garlic, slice onion

    Cut holes into the tenderloin and push garlic in. Season pork.

    Place lard (or butter), onion and tenderloin into a cooking pot.

    season meat and place into pot

    Step 2

    Sear meat over medium to high heat on all sides.

    Pour broth in and cover pot with a lid.

    sear pork and pour broth in.

    Step 3

    Roast pork tenderloin.

    Prepare slurry by combining flour and water.

    Pour slurry in and finish roasting the meat.

    🍴 Serving

    Pour some of the sauce in the pot over the meat before serving.

    That way it looks shiny, which will bring out the colors of the sear and the meat will be juicy.

    Cut the meat in slices before you intend to serve it.

    I love to serve up my pork roast tenderloin with root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, or turnips.

    Mashed potato is a great side dish as well as braised red cabbage.

    Sauerkraut and dumplings is also an excellent choice to enjoy with pork.

    🍱 Storing & Using Leftovers

    You can keep leftovers cooled in an airtight container for up to 4 days in your fridge.

    The cooked pork meat is already cooked but jsut need to be warmed up. That way you can easily use it as a flavorful addition to other meals.

    You could add your tenderloin leftovers to your...

    • Cuban sandwich - so gooood!
    • pasta - to a sauce or in a bake
    • rice - as in fried rice
    • quesadillas or tacos
    • ramen or other asian noodle soups

    💭 FAQs

    How long to bake pork tenderloin?

    Bake your pork tenderloin for about 25-30 mins. The one in the picture baked for 30 mins, and it's done. If you want it more pink roast it for about 25 min more or less.

    At what temperature to roast the pork tenderloin?

    Roast at 400 Fahrenheit/ 200 Celsius.

    Do you cook the pork tenderloin covered or uncovered?

    Cook it covered for the first ⅔ of the cooking process. Then add the slurry and finish roasting it uncovered.

    Should you sear pork tenderloin before baking?

    Yes! Searing brings out the wonderful flavors of the meat. It will have a lovely golden brown color on the outside, which looks nice too when you are serving up your meat.

    How to know when the meat is done?

    Follow the heat and time instructions in the recipe. You can cut in to check if it's done to your liking. Another and even better idea is to get a meat thermometer. Poke the thermometer into the meat to see the inside temperature. For medium rare, at 145 Fahrenheit/ 60 Celsius, up to 160 Fahrenheit/ 70 Celsius Medium well done.

    Recipe by: Helene Dsouza

    Ingredients

    For the Roast

    • 5 cloves Garlic
    • 2 medium Onion
    • 1.1 pounds Pork Tenderloin
    • 1 Teaspoon Salt
    • 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
    • 1 Teaspoon Caraway Seeds or Cumin Seeds
    • 3 Tablespoon Lard or Butter
    • 1¼ cup Broth

    For the Slurry

    • ½ cup Lukewarm Water
    • 1 Tablespoon All-purpose Flour
    US - Metric

    Instructions

    • Peel garlic and cut it lengthwise into smaller manageable pieces.
    • Peel and slice onion.
    • Make some holes all over the pork tenderloin and push a garlic piece into each hole until all garlic has been used up.
    • Season pork with salt, black pepper, and caraway seeds OR cumin (any of the two).
    • Place lard (or butter) with the sliced onion into a large pot and keep pork tenderloin over that.
    • Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit/ 200° Celsius.
    • Place a large pot over the stove to sear the meat and onions first. Brown meat on all sides.
    • Pour broth into the pot and mix it a bit in. Cover the pot.
    • Place into the oven and roast pork for about 20-30 mins at 400° Fahrenheit/ 200° Celsius altogether. The duration depends on how you want your meat cooked, if it should be pink (cook for 20 mins) or well done but juicy (cook for 30 mins). Use a thermometer to determine inner temperature doneness (see notes).
    • Prepare slurry by combining flour and water.
    • Pour after 15-20 mins cooking time the slurry into the pot and mix it in to create a thick sauce and finish cooking your meat.
    • Take out meat when done and pour sauce over the meat. That will bring out the lovely color of the sear. Cut into meat slices and serve up with the sauce.

    Notes

    For medium-rare, at 145 Fahrenheit/ 60 Celsius, up to 160 Fahrenheit/ 70 Celsius Medium well-done.
