How do you cook a pork tenderloin without drying out? 1. Season Well: Start by seasoning the tenderloin generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or marinades. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes or marinate for a few hours. 2. Sear on All Sides: In a hot skillet with some oil, sear the tenderloin on all sides to develop a flavorful crust. This step should take about 2-3 minutes per side. 3. Roast or Grill: Transfer the tenderloin to an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) or a preheated grill. Roast or grill until the internal temperature reaches about 140°F (60°C), typically around 12-15 minutes. A meat thermometer is crucial to avoid overcooking.
