Mustard-Crusted Pork Tenderloin

If the oven weren’t involved, you could do this in your sleep.

I mean really, this is ridiculously easy. And it yields the most tender pork straight out of the oven. The secret is that the vinegar in the mustard tenderizes the tenderloin as it cooks, making it juicy and perfectly textured.

Serve this pork on a salty marble rye bread, or a giant ballpark-style soft pretzel cut lengthwise, to make it into a delicious sandwich. Also try my recipes for Tangy Pork and Beer Braised Pork Shoulder.

 

cooking information

• Yield: 4-6 Servings
• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cooking Time: 40-50 minutes

all ingredients

• 1 Pork Tenderloin
• 1/2 Cup Whole Grain Mustard

recipe instruction

1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

2. Rub your pork tenderloin with the mustard and place in a baking dish.

3. Cook for 40 minutes or until the meat reaches 150 degrees. You’ll know the pork is finished when it is firm to the touch but bounces back. Risk undercooking it and putting it back in the oven for 5 minutes versus over cooking it.

4. Let rest 5 minutes, slice and serve.

cooking tips

• Line your baking dish with parchment paper for easy clean up.
• Serve hunks of the pork at the end of a fork for a new and different appetizer.
