1 Pork tenderloin - 1/2 to 4 pounds
Seasonings
Directions:
Directions:
Determine exact weight of your pork. Most tenderloins will have the weight printed on the wrapper. (I typically use a 1.5-2 lb tenderloin that is no more than 2.5 inches in diameter.)
Preheat oven to 500-550 degrees. (I know it’s hot. On my oven – it’s the “broil” setting…)
Line baking dish with aluminum foil and spray with a non-stick cooking spray. (This just makes clean up MUCH easier.)
Remove the pork from the package and season with your favorite herbs or spices. (I normally use salt and pepper along with some Rosemary and thyme, but you could use any seasoning blend you prefer.)
Place tenderloin (uncovered) in the oven and bake for EXACTLY 5 1/2 minutes per pound. For a 2 lb. roast, you would cook for 11 minutes.
Once the time has elapsed, turn off the oven and DO NOT open the oven door for ONE HOUR. This allows the roast to continue to cook without the direct heat.
After one hour, remove the pork from the oven and let rest on the counter for 5-10 minutes.
After the 5-10 minutes, slice and top with your favorite cranberry sauce, gravy or BBQ sauce.
