We really enjoy trying new recipes on a regular basis. Some are “okay”, enjoyed for the evening but not tried again. Others get added to the “second try with edits” pile, where we think about what tweaks would make it even better. There have even been a couple of attempts where we looked at each other and said “trash can?” Then there are the crowning jewels – the recipes that my husband requests be added to our regular rotation. This pork tenderloin recipe is one of those recipes. While I’ve made pork chops dozens of times, the first time I tried this recipe was my first-ever attempt at a pork loin. I’m not sure why I waited so long because the results were delicious! After the very first bite my husband declared that it was a keeper.
Roasted Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
- ¼ C red wine vinegar
- ⅓ C reduced-sodium soy sauce
- ½ C olive oil
- 3 T Worcestershire sauce
- 1 T lemon-pepper seasoning
- 2 tsp. dried parsley
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 tsp. ground mustard
- 1 lb. pork tenderloin, silver skin removed
Instructions
Mix all ingredients except for pork tenderloin in a large zip-top bag.
Place pork tenderloin in zip-top bag; squeeze out the extra air and seal. Shake bag to evenly coat.
Place zip-top bag in a large bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours (overnight if you can). Turn bag once every hour.
Remove tenderloin from bag; discard remaining marinade.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear pork, 2-3 minutes per side.
Place pork in the preheated oven and cook for 30-45 minutes until cooked through.

I had never really liked any kind of pork besides pulled pork, but recently have gotten into tenderloin. I'm always looking for new recipes to make with it, so I'm happy I found this one!
