Rosemary and Garlic Pork Tenderloin

I love to plan a pork tenderloin somewhere in my menu brainstorming for the month. I know that it’s so easy to put together and there are so many different ways to marinate the pork. This rosemary garlic pork tenderloin recipe is always a hit with my family. I make a very easy orange soy glaze to serve with the pork that is just so tasty! The most important thing is to not overcook it, so you will need a meat thermometer to check if it’s ready. If you happen to have any leftovers, it is great in a sandwich or even in a wrap or a salad.This is a perfect Italian Sunday supper idea. It’s so easy to make that it could also be a special dinner to make during the week or if you have friends coming over. They will think you worked hours on putting together this delicious meal!! I made two pork tenderloins this time, but in the recipe, I give the ingredients to make just one pork tenderloin. If you do want to make two as I did, just double the ingredients. If you are a true garlic lover, please feel free to add more garlic cloves. They taste wonderful when they are cooked in the glaze. I served this with rosemary roasted potatoes and a mixed salad.

As you can see on the before photo that is below, I did a generous sprinkling of the paprika. We love paprika and this is a mild one that I used. While it is baking, the paprika, salt and pepper forms a lovely thin crust.  If you want to make a Roast Pork Loin (arrosto di maiale), you should try my recipe that you can find here. It’s a bigger piece of pork and takes a little longer to make, but also is perfect for an Italian family supper or any special occasion.
