Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the pork fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the fillet, if necessary.
- Place the pork fillet on a cutting board or a clean surface.
- Optionally, season the pork fillet with salt, pepper, garlic powder, or any preferred spices to enhance flavor.
- Pour the olive oil into a shallow dish or bowl.
- Roll the pork fillet in the olive oil, ensuring it is thoroughly coated on all sides.
- Pour the bread crumbs onto a large plate or into a shallow dish.
- Transfer the olive oil-coated pork fillet to the plate with the bread crumbs.
- Roll the pork fillet in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere to the meat, creating a uniform coating.
- Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
7. Bake the Pork Fillet:
- Place the breaded pork fillet in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake the pork fillet in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. For a more well-done fillet, bake until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Once the pork fillet has reached the desired internal temperature, remove it from the oven.
- Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- After the resting period, slice the pork fillet into medallions of your desired thickness.
- Serve immediately, pairing with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Ensure the pork tenderloin is at room temperature before cooking to promote even cooking.
- For extra flavor, you can season the bread crumbs with your favorite herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for a perfectly juicy result.
- Let the tenderloin rest for at least 5-10 minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute within the meat.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, you can broil the tenderloin for the last few minutes of cooking, but keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
This baked pork tenderloin with olive oil and bread crumbs is sure to be a hit at your next meal. The combination of tender, juicy pork with the crisp bread crumb coating makes for a mouthwatering dish. By following these tips and steps, you'll create a delectable dinner that everyone will love. Enjoy your perfectly baked pork tenderloin!
