Pork tenderloin is so incredibly tender when cooked right! The key to perfection is knowing exactly how long to cook pork tenderloin (and not to overcook it)!
This recipe is incredibly easy to make. In this recipe, the pork is rubbed with seasonings, seared until golden, then showered with herbs, lemon juice, and butter, then baked enclosed in foil while the butter creates a self-basting butter sauce. Just season, place in a hot skillet, and let the oven do the rest.
DO I NEED TO REMOVE THE SILVERSKIN BEFORE COOKING?
If your pork comes with the silver skin intact, you will need to remove it before cooking. Many packages of pork tenderloin, however, will come pre-trimmed and ready to go. You will want to remove it because it can become tough and chewy when cooked.

TIPS FOR THE BEST PORK TENDERLOIN RECIPE
- Sear before baking- searing the pork locks in the juices which prevent the surface of the tenderloin from becoming dehydrated when cooked at high heat or for an extended period of time.
- Drizzle with lemon juice- in this oven-baked pork tenderloin recipe, we drizzle each tenderloin with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. The lemon juice brightens the flavors without tasting too lemony.
- Don’t overcook- Use your meat thermometer and check your pork right at 15 minutes then every few minutes as needed to achieve the correct temperature. The internal temperature of 145 degrees F with a resting time of three minutes, however, anywhere from 145-160 degrees is considered acceptable.
