A 30-minute dinner, all cooked in the same pan, this Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin packs flavor, color AND convenience into your dinner-time routine!
Alright, listen up folks. This right here is a dinner you’re going to want to make IMMEDIATELY. This is a simple, colorful dinner that you can get on the table in record time.
I’m a BIG fan of all-in-one dinners, sheet pans, skillets, one-pot, you name it, I love it. And I don’t even do the dishes.
My family loves this recipe, it is tender, juicy and melts in your mouth. Not bad for dinner that takes only around 30 minutes to make, right?
My Whisky Glazed Pork Tenderloin is another massive favorite in my house, for obvious reasons!
What to serve with Pork Tenderloin
I love Scalloped Potatoes, but I’m also RATHER fond of this mashed potato recipe, as well as this absolutely delicious Creamy Garlic Parmesan Risotto. Green beans are also a great side. Check out these sautéed green beans!
After the pork is done, and resting – a little pan gravy is a super easy way to make a killer finishing touch. Plus, making gravy in the same pan you cooked your pork in, means you get alllll the flavor from the pork right there in the gravy.
Place the pan on the stove over medium-high, and sprinkle a little flour over the top of the pan juices, and make a paste. Whisk in the stock, and some salt/pepper to taste, and let it thicken. Ta-da!!
Why this recipe works:
- Super easy to make, just sear and throw your skillet right in the oven. Slice and serve!
- Under 30 minutes of cooking time.
- Family friendly. Everyone loves this one!
Kylee’s Notes & FAQs
What temperature should pork be cooked to?
Use a thermometer in the thickest part of your pork, and cook to 145, and rest for 3 mins after cooking. Use a high-quality meat thermometer to check the temperature. Accurately measuring this ensures fully cooked but not OVER cooked pork.
Change out the seasoning for Italian seasoning, or Tuscan Seasoning
Choose pork tenderloin at the grocery store that is not pre-marinated. Season your own!
Pork tenderloin goes on sale regularly at grocery stores! A good price is around $5.99-$7.00 per pound.
