A Pork Tenderloin Recipe That Makes Your Tenderloin Melt In Your Mouth Good!


Pork Tenderloin Recipe - A Perfect Mouth Watering Roast (2)Pork tenderloin is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be easily roasted to perfection. In this pork tenderloin recipe I am going to show you how to trim and remove the silver skin from the tenderloin so that your tenderloin will be the perfect cut of meat.

I am also going to show you how to create the perfect brine, which you set the tenderloin in for about 3 hours. This will make the pork tenderloin so tender it will practically melt in your mouth. I promise you, after using my pork tenderloin recipe you will never cook a pork tenderloin again without soaking it in this special brine first.

Pork has long been misunderstood. For years, people have believed that pork must be cooked until it is dry and tough in order to be safe to eat. However, this is actually a misconception. Pork tenderloin can be safely cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, which results in a juicy, flavorful piece of meat.

I like to make a simple pan sauce to accompany my Pork Tenderloin, which really elevates the dish. Yukon gold mashed potatoes are the perfect side to this dish, as they are rich and flavorful. Super easy to do and super delicious!
