Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins about 1 lb each
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons seasoning salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 9×13" baking dish.
- Trim the silver skin from the pork and place it in the prepared dish. Brush lightly with the oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, seasoning salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, mustard, and pepper. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork, pressing into the meat.
- Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted into the pork reaches 140°F (medium-rare) to 160°F (well done). I recommend removing at 140-145°F and letting it rest. There will be the slightest bit of pink in the center, but it will still be juicy!
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
*Most pork tenderloins are around the same size -- roughly 1 lb in size. If yours is a little smaller or a little larger, you may want to adjust the cook time a couple minutes either way accordingly.
Ingredients and Substitutions:
Pork tenderloin: I have not tested this recipe with any other cut of meat, so be sure that you are using tenderloins and not the loin. A pork loin is a much larger cut of meat and will require a much longer cook time.
The rub: the seasonings and herbs in this rub are customizable -- feel free to add your own spin!
