Juicy Pork Tenderloin with Rub
Once you try our perfectly roasted, juicy pork tenderloin recipe, you’ll never go back! These simple instructions are a no-fail approach to the most succulent and perfectly seasoned pork you’ve ever made at home.
This roast can be made in just 30–45 minutes, which makes for a great go-to weeknight meal. Why have chicken every night when you can mix it up with ‘the other white meat’?
It will be handy to have a meat thermometer when making this recipe. The ability to measure the doneness of your roast is the difference between dry, lackluster pork and the juicy, bountiful flavor that we’ve promised. This one from Amazon is one of our favorites.
If you opt to use the barbecue sauce, simply brush the roast with barbecue sauce after you remove it from the oven.
Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes before serving. The juices with redistribute through the meat, resulting in a super juicy pork tenderloin. Then slice and serve immediately, yum!

Notes
Even thou this is Not my recipe, I would use an open casserole dish or a rimmed baking sheet. hope this helps answer quetions on lid or no lid. The printer icon is above the recipe on left side above ingredients so you can copy it. Sometimes you really have to look for them.
The recipe looks delicious and I really want to try it. One question that I have is, do you use a roasting pan with a rack, or just down in the bottom of the roasting pan??
Looks delicious. Do you put it in a pan with a lid? Do you put any liquid in the pan?
Could you do the pork roast recipe so I can copy it?
