This roasted pork tenderloin recipe is so easy to make because it uses minimal ingredients. Even without a bunch of ingredients, it's SO flavorful, thanks to the secret ingredient – House Seasoning.
That being said, the Honey Butter Sauce in this baked pork tenderloin recipe is the best part. I usually double the ingredients so I have extra sauce.
Ingredients for Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin
- Butter
- Honey
- Pork tenderloin (1.5 pounds is good – be sure to trim the fat!)
- House seasoning (a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder)
- Chicken stock
You could use veggie stock in place of chicken stock if you like.
How to Cook Pork Tenderloin
- Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F.
- After that, melt the butter and honey in an ovenproof skillet on the stove. (I like a cast iron or stainless steel skillet.)
- While that's melting, sprinkle the House Seasoning over the pork tenderloin. Make sure that you're coating all the side evenly in seasoning.
- Next, you'll place the tenderloin in the skillet and brown it right in the melted honey butter. Be sure to sear the tenderloin on each side.
- Then, place the skillet with the pork tenderloin in the oven. Bake it for 15 minutes to 20 minutes. If you like a slightly pink center (medium-well) start with the lower cooking time before checking the internal temperature.
- Take the skillet out of the oven and use a pair of tongs to move the tenderloin to a separate plate. Cover the plate in foil so that the tenderloin stays hot and juicy.
- Next, you'll make the Honey Butter Sauce. It's as simple as whisking the chicken stock into the melted honey butter and pan juices. Do this over medium heat and let the sauce simmer until it's reduced and thickened, about five minutes. Finally, drizzle the Honey Butter Sauce over the tenderloin and serve!
How long to cook pork tenderloin?
It's important to make sure that the pork is cooked thoroughly and to the proper temperature. After searing each side of the pork tenderloin on the stovetop for 5 minutes, bake it for 15-20 minutes.
The internal temperature on your meat thermometer should read 160 degrees when inserted into the center of the Pork Loin.
What can I serve with Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin?
I usually serve brown rice and steamed green beans with this meal. I love it when the Honey Butter Sauce finds its way into the rice and beans. Pure heaven!
This oven roasted pork tenderloin pairs perfectly with just about any savory side dish.
