Many Cooking Choices For A Pork Tenderloin

Grilling pork tenderloin

• Always cook the tenderloin over indirect heat.  Depending on its size, it usually takes 20 to 30 minutes over medium-high heat.
• Flip the tenderloin every 4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees to 140 degrees.
• Let the tenderloin cool before serving.

Pan-roasting pork tenderloin

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and coat an ovenproof skillet with oil.
• Sear the tenderloin over medium-high heat until it's brown on all sides.
• Roast the tenderloin for 15 to 20 minutes until the internal temperature reads 145 degrees. 
• Let it cool before serving.

Marinating pork tenderloin

• Marinades can be as simple as garlic and olive oil.  There are many marinade recipes out there to choose from and maybe you already have one you like.
• Marinate the pork tenderloin in a sealable bag and refrigerate it overnight.
• If you have any leftover marinade, bring it to a boil in a small saucepan and reduce heat to a gentle simmer until the marinade is reduced to about 2 tbsp.  Stir and then drizzle over the tenderloin before serving.

Dry rub pork tenderloin

• Use a variety of ground herbs and spices, such as parsley, basil and cilantro.  The dry rub can be applied hours before cooking the pork tenderloin or even right before cooking time.

Glazing pork tenderloin

• You can glaze your pork tenderloin with almost anything syrupy, from barbecue sauce to fruit jam or juice.  Just remember, brush it on only after you've seared the meat and before you cook it.
