Baked Pork Tenderloin

Delicious pork is not just bacon, okay?! You can get just as delicious a bite of pork from a tenderloin, a chop, or shredded pork.

One of my favorite ways to make pork tenderloin is actually in the oven! A lot of people worry about baking pork tenderloin in case they may dry it out, but it’s actually pretty simple! Low and slow, and flavored with 3 different types of citrus! Yes! Just trust me!

You’ll need the following for this recipe:

• 2 Pack of Pork Tenderloin (2 1.5 lb tenderloins sold in 1 pack)
• 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 Tsp Onion Powder
• 1 ½ Tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 Tsp Paprika
• 1 Tsp Chili Powder
• 1 Tsp Kosher Salt
• ½ Tsp Ground Black Pepper
• ½ Tsp Cumin
• ½ Tsp Dried Parsley
• 1 Lemon
• 1 Lime
• 1 Orange

Make it!

1. Preheat the oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with tin foil for easy clean up.
2. In a small bowl combine the rub seasonings: cumin, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.

3. Pat each of the pork tenderloins dry and drizzle with olive oil.
4. Sprinkle the rub on each of the pork tenderloins and spread to coat them on all sides.
5. Place the pork on the lined baking sheet.
6. Cut the lemon and lime each in half and squeeze 1 lemon half and 1 lime half over each tenderloin.

3. Bake for 1 hour.
4. When the thickest part of the tenderloin reaches 145° F internal temperature, remove the pork from the oven and place each tenderloin on a cutting board.
5. Cut the orange in half, squeeze each half of the orange over each tenderloin.
6.  Let the tenderloin rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing it into 1 inch slices.
