Kitchen Notes
- The actual cooking time will depend on several factors, including starting internal temperature of the meat, the thickness of the cut, and how your oven is calibrated. For best results, remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking and use an instant-read thermometer to test the internal temperature for doneness.
- Important: The safe internal temperature for pork tenderloin is 145°F. The meat will be pink inside at this temperature (as shown in these images). For less pink results without drying out the tenderloin, add another 5-6 minutes to the cooking time to bring the internal temperature to 145°F when removing from the oven. The temperature will increase several degrees while the pork rests.
