Perfect Pork Tenderloin

This could be the best pork tenderloin recipe you have ever tried! My sister gave me this recipe that she adapted slightly from the Food.com site, and it is so moist and tender. This delicious meat goes a long way when serving a crowd and leftovers are versatile as sandwiches or in a salad.

Perfect Pork Tenderloin

Boneless pork tenderloin
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Rosemary

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Rub roast with olive oil, then sprinkle as desired with salt, pepper, and Rosemary. Place the seasoned roast in an uncovered roasting pan. Determine the EXACT weight of the pork from the meat wrapper. The weight will determine how long to cook the roast. Bake the roast for exactly 5 1/2 minutes per pound, then turn the oven OFF and DO NOT open oven door for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to redistribute internal juices.

Each of these roasts is about 1 1/2 pounds. When cooking multiples, the cooking time is still measured by the weight of the individual roast, not as the combination weight.

This may be the most tender and moist pork you will ever taste!
