Grab a pork tenderloin and trim any large areas of fat. I don’t usually need to do this with the brand I buy, but I know some can be on the fattier side. Generously season the pork tenderloin with salt, pepper and a bit of paprika. Place it on a wire rack in a roasting pan and bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Remove the tenderloin from the oven (turn the temperature down to 375) and brush it with grainy dijon mustard. I didn’t list specific amounts for any of the ingredients because they will differ depending on the size of the meat, just go with what feels right 🙂 Pat on the brown sugar, return it to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees.

Remove it from the oven, tent it with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes. Cut it, serve it and ENJOY! This tenderloin goes well with rice, noodles, potatoes, cooked apples, or any steamed veggies you like. It’s easy enough to make on busy nights yet elegant enough to serve on special occasions or holidays. It’ll be a favorite for sure!

  1. I made this pork loin and it  was very good. The recipe was simple and the pork loin came out very moist and tender. I will definitely make this recipe again!

  2. I have never seen a pork tenderloin that weighs 3 to 5 pounds. Nor does the picture look like a tenderloin. It looks more like a pork loin to me and a pork loin does weigh more so I can only presume the recipe should say pork loin not tenderloin. I does sound delicious and I will try it. It would be nice to have more specific amounts of the brown sugar and mustard in the recipe.

  3. this is my go to recipe..many recipes in my 80yrs..but this is so easy from my days of fear of cooking pork..glad those days are over…sliced thin on buns with coleslaw finishes the roast ..thanks for recipe…and thanks to technology…love my phone!
