Directions:

Marinate the roast and rub with any seasonings that please your palate!

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Remove tenderloin from refrigerator. Season meat as desired.

The success of this cooking method will depend upon how accurate the temperature of your oven is and how well your oven retains heat. Adjust cooking time +/- according to your individual oven. NOTICE: If you have a very old oven that is not well insulated, this recipe may not work for you, as heat retention/residual heat is important to the success of this recipe.

Determine the EXACT weight of roast from the meat wrapper. Weight will determine how long to cook the roast.

Place seasoned meat in an uncovered roasting pan on a shelf in the bottom 1/3 of your oven. Bake EXACTLY 5 and 1/2 minutes PER POUND.

Turn oven OFF and DO NOT open oven door for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove pork from oven, lightly cover with foil, and let rest 5-10 minutes to redistribute internal juices. Roast should be done, very slightly pink in the center, and very moist. After resting 10 minutes, the roast should reach a safe 145-150 degrees.

NOTE: Trichinosis is killed at 138 degrees. 145 is a safe temperature for pork. If the center of the meat is not a little pink, it is overcooked!

VARIATION: To make Roasted Veggies along with the tenderloin, peel carrots and potatoes, and cut into about 1-inch cubes. Season as desired and drizzle with a little oil. Add vegetables to pan around (but NOT touching) pork tenderloin. Cook tenderloin as instructed above. The roasted potatoes and carrots should be done when the roast is done. You may need to adjust the size of the potatoes and carrots depending upon the weight of your tenderloin and how long you cook it.

MULTIPLE:
So many people have asked me how long to cook tenderloins if they have "more than one" to cook, I wanted to give a simple response. ANSWER: So long as the tenderloins are NOT touching each other, cook 3 or 4 individual tenderloins for the same amount of time as if you were cooking one. Remember, each tenderloin is cooking in its own separate space. EXAMPLE: If cooking three 1-pound tenderloins, cook them only 5-1/2 minutes TOTAL. This makes it a great entrée recipe when having a dinner party for 8-12 people, or more.

ROAST BEEF DONE TO MEDIUM RARE:
Follow all the methods for the Perfect Pork Tenderloin Every Time recipe. Prepare whatever rub/seasoning you like (e.g.: Montreal Steak Spice!!), Preheat your oven to 500F. Place your roast in a pan, place the pan in the bottom third of your oven and bake for 5 minutes per pound. Turn the heat off (do not open the oven door) and allow to roast for an additional 15 minutes per pound. Remove the roast from the oven and allow to rest for an additional 15 minutes. (in these 15 minutes you can cook your veggies, make your gravy, etc.).
