? for the cooks

[H&Hmommy]

I purchased a whole pork tenderloin. I cut several pieces for tend. sand. and I keeped about a 2lb. piece in hopes of making a roast out of it to serve with mashed pot. and gravy. Is that possible and if so at what temp. and how long should i cook it so that it is nice and tender?

Thanks for any help!!

I would make a run of oil(preferably Olive oil) Garlic,Worcestreshire sauce and soy
Or a rub of Mustard and Honey
OR a rub of Oil ,rosemary, garlic and then put bacon slices on top

If it's a tenderloin,it only takes an hour or so at 350 degrees

I've also been known to use one of the rubs named,slice the roast down the side and stuff it with stuffing or a mix of Orzo spinich and sun dried tomatoes

I usually brown a pork tenderloin in a pan and then roast it in the oven at around 325 degrees. I forget the exact time, but I think it's like 12-15 minutes per pound.

Thanks so much the rub sounds great. Would the roast need to be covered while baking and do I need to put any water in the bottom of the pan?

Thanks

I don't cover it or put in water... I like the garlic to turn a little brown and crispy..If the top starts to get too brown you could put foil on it...With the short cooking time it would probably be fine.Really you can use olive oil,garlic and whatever spices you like...Rosemary ,thyme,, Parsley..Ccumin,chili powder etc.... If you don't have any minced garlic use powder.. I always have big jugs of minced garlic on hand

I use a meat themometer for pork and chicken when I roast them. They run about $5.00. Walmart etc should have one. It also will tell you how long to roast per pound right on the protective sleeve it's in.
My Dh loves pork tenderloin (boneless) roasted with rosemary, thyme, and a sprinkle of a house seasoning of garlic powder, salt and pepper mix.
