Easy and Elegant Pork Tenderloin
This main dish is beautiful in its presentation and always comes out tender and juicy even if you overcook it a little. The crust of bread crumbs holds in all the juices and adds a great look and taste to the finished product.
Ingredients
-
2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
-
½ cup olive oil
-
2 pounds pork tenderloin
Description
- Mix bread crumbs and olive oil in bowl to reach consistency that would be moist enough to stick to the meat when pressed.
- Place pork on a shallow cooking sheet. Press the crumb mixture onto all sides of the meat until there is no pink showing, usually 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake for at least 35 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) or until there is no pink when the pork is cut.
- Let the pork rest for 10 minutes, then cut into 1/2 inch slices.
