Roast Pork Tenderloin

Roast Pork Tenderloin

Food Wiki
A pork tenderloin is a slender, elongated strip of meat sourced from the pig's loin. Despite its small size, it boasts an exceptionally tender texture, eliminating the need for prolonged marination to enhance tenderness. When selecting a tenderloin, opt for the largest one available, preferably without any pre-existing marinade. Although packaged tenderloins often come with marinades, we'll be creating our own delectable glaze for this dish.
Our rosemary glaze works wonders on the pork, infusing the potatoes with incredible flavor as well. To ensure the potatoes cook thoroughly, especially if using large ones, you may need to extend the cooking time. Once the tenderloin is done in the oven, you can tent it with foil to keep it warm while continuing to roast the potatoes. Alternatively, give the potatoes additional time before placing the tenderloin on top.
For more variety in vegetable options, consider incorporating carrots and red onions alongside the potatoes. This adds a delightful array of veggies to the dish. Enjoy this delightful meal!
