All you need…extra virgin olive oil, soy sauce, Dijon honey mustard, garlic, salt and pepper.
*The recipe calls for DijonHoney Mustard but I was out this time, so I added 3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of honey to the marinade and it worked perfect!*
To Make: In a medium size bowl add soy sauce, olive oil, Dijon honey mustard, minced garlic, salt and pepper and whisk until well blended.
Place tenderloins in a ziplock bag and pour marinade over. Seal bag, coat loins well then place in fridge for 3 hours or more – the longer the better. If you can, marinate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place tenderloin(s) in baking dish then pour the marinade from the bag over the tenderloins. Bake on middle rack of oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until the pork reaches a safe minimal internal temperature of 145 degrees F with a 3 minute rest time.
I like to serve pork tenderloins with roasted butternut squash,rice pilaf or wild rice. This is also great with honey roasted mini red potatoes.

Directions
Sounds good! Need to try this one!
The reason your pork is tough is because it’s over cooked. Pork tenderloin
needs to cook quickly never 45-55 minutes. Try 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.
And you want some pink inside…….don’t freak you won’t get trichinosis! It’s a great
cut of meat, even better grilled!
I agree, Cyndee!!
Does this need to be covered when cooked?
This is our absolute favorite recipe for pork tenderloin, can it be cooked in an Instant Pot? Thanks
Can this be done in the crock pot?
Would this marinade work on venison?
Did you try? I'm going to… I'm sure it will be amazing!
I slice the tenderloin into 1" slices and fry it for a very few minutes. It stays tender and tastes wonderful.
Did you trim off the excess fat or leave it on for the juices???
This was fantastic. Super tender and juicy. I marinated it overnight and all the next day until I put it on to cook. Definitely making this again.
I tried this recipe it's very yummy it's my first time cooking a pork tender. I have one problem its kinda tough. Do you know why this might be?
You may have over cooked it. I cook pork tenderloins all the time. They cook very quick.
