13 Quick and Easy Pork Tenderloin Recipes
Pork tenderloin is ideal for quick cooking. This most tender and flavorful cut of pork is very lean. There's no waste either, since the tenderloins are trimmed before you buy them.
Because the cut is so lean, tenderloin should be cooked quickly. If you cut a tenderloin into rounds or medallions, it will cook in minutes on a dual-contact indoor grill. Each tenderloin usually weighs about 1 to 1-1/4 pounds.
Pork is cooked in minutes per pound. So roast a tenderloin at 425 degrees F for 15-20 minutes per pound and grill it over medium coals for 15-25 minutes per pound. The internal temperature should be a minimum of 145 degrees F (the USDA lowered the safe temperature for pork in the summer of 2011).
One of the quickest meals in the market starts with a marinated pork tenderloin. Several companies produce this product. Just cook and eat! But you can save some money and control sodium by marinating a plain tenderloin yourself.
