Expert Tips
- Tip #1: If the pork starts to dry out, you can add more bone broth to the pan and cover with aluminum foil while finishing up baking in the oven.
- Tip #2: Make sure to thoroughly mix the herbs and seasonings before rubbing onto the pork tenderloin to ensure an even distribution of flavors on the meat.
- Tip #3: The best way to tell if the meat is fully cooked is with a meat thermometer. Pork tenderloin should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
Recipe FAQ
For serving, slice the pork tenderloin and place on a serving platter. You can also add fresh green basil as a garnish for a green accent.
A 2 pound pork tenderloin will yield approximately 8-9 slices.
I suggest reheating the pork tenderloin in the oven at 350 degrees F with a little bit of the juices or bone broth for 5-10 minutes or until it is warm throughout.
I enjoy pairing this with different variations of my other side dish recipes. For Father’s Day, I paired it with my vegan sweet potato mash, lemon garlic asparagus, and red pepper chimichurri.
Storage Instructions
- This recipe can last up to 5 days in the refrigerator in an air tight container. I suggest slicing the pork tenderloin prior to storing.
