6-Ingredient Pork Tenderloin Recipe Is Sweet, Savory & Totally Juicy (Ready in 30 Minutes) by Elisa Schmitz
Why do I always forget how easy it is to roast a juicy and delicious pork tenderloin in the oven? We get into a baked chicken rut, then I’ll rediscover pork tenderloin and I’m always thrilled with the result when I cook this dish for dinner.
This simple 6-ingredient oven-baked pork tenderloin recipe is no exception. The flavor of the sauce is sweet and savory, and the pork is tender and totally juicy with no searing necessary. And, it’s ready in only about 30 minutes. You can't beat that for a busy weeknight dinner!
I baked this pork tenderloin in the oven for a family gathering, served it with a salad and my bleu cheese mashed potatoes, and everyone raved about it (before it disappeared). Next time, I’m adding some garlic powder, and I'm cooking two pork tenderloins so I have leftovers to make tenderloin sandwiches for the next day's lunch!
