Inside: The Best Pork Tenderloin Recipe
This is the best pork tenderloin recipe you will ever have! It is a flavor-packed easy sheet pan dinner with tender green beans, crispy roasted potatoes, and delicious glazed pork tenderloin, all cooked simply on one sheet pan.
This pork tenderloin recipe caught my eye in a Cook’s Country magazine because it was so pretty on the sheet pan, but when I read the recipe I knew it was going to be absolutely delicious.
How to Make The Best Pork Tenderloin
The key to this tasty pork tenderloin recipe is a simple flavor profile and a few clever cooking hacks. First, the green beans are arranged under the pork tenderloin so they absorb the flavor and don’t dry out. Second, instead of having to marinate or sear the tenderloin, you simply use hoisin sauce as an all in one flavor-packed glaze.
The hoisin sauce is genius as a glaze in this recipe. It doesn’t really give an Asian flavor profile to the dish, it just adds the extra sweet and salty flavor that really compliments the pork.
Start by arranging the fresh green beans and the potato halves on a sheet pan as shown.
Then place the pork tenderloins over the green beans and brush with hoisin sauce.
Season with additional salt and pepper and roast at 450 degrees until pork tenderloins read 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes.
While the pork tenderloins are roasting, mix up a simple herb butter compound that will help finish the tenderloins and the potatoes and green beans.
Remove tenderloins from oven and let rest before slicing, topping with half of the herb butter.
Top potatoes and green beans with remaining herb butter and stir to combine.
The Best Pork Tenderloin Recipe

Thank you so much for your helpful shearing post!
Really like making this. I made a few changes to the recipe as i was going to make some flavors pop a little more but it was so delicious.
Such a great easy recipe! Omg, the hoisin with a little salt and pepper was the perfect seasoning! The garlic chive butter at the end, wow! Everything was perfectly cooked, will make again!
This was so easy and delicious! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Made this tonight and it was delicious!! My son is so skeptical of trying new things, especially pork because I don’t make it often (bad childhood memories of dried pork loin) and he LOVED it! The “sauce” in the pan was perfect to dab up with the pork and potatoes. Plus it’s a one pan meal- an all around win for me!
This was amazingly deeelish!!!!!!! So super easy! I had only used one pork tenderloin cut in half. It was cooked
Perfectly! Thank yu for this delicious ? idea! Always looking for new ideas! Great entertainment dinner if one had to impress!!!
Oh my, this was so good! I used a garlic and herb marinated tenderloin because that’s what my grocery store had in stock. Next time, I would trim the excess fat, brush all sides of the pork with hoisin, place green beans on the side (not underneath), and increase the cook time to 35 minutes.

Absolutely delicious!
How many does this recipe serve?? You may have said it, I may have just missed it…
Lovely!
Made this tonight. Instant hit. Delicious!! Thank you. Can’t wait to have it again.
Your recipe looks delicious. Be aware though that most hoisin sauce contains wheat (as do 90% of soy sauces) and is therefore not gluten free. Thanks.
Made this tonigh and it was great. My husband loved it and asked me to make sure I mark this as a keeper!
How many should this serve?
About how many servings in this recipe ?
4 generous servings
Thanks! I immediately printed and put the ingredients on the shopping list for next week!
Absolutely delicious. New family favorite.
Accidentally grabbed Szechwan green beans instead of plain ansnit was amazing!!!
I would give this 6 stars if I could. I made it exactly according to the recipe, and my family loved it. It is delicious, and will go into my “best of the best” file. Thank you!
Love this! 4 generous servings, and halves easily for just the two of us. It has quickly become a favourite!
Made this dish tonight. It was awesome. The only problem was I didn’t make enough
So it’s on the keeper list ❤️?
Hello, I really am liking your recipes and shortcuts on your site. This one sheet recipe is wonderful but, I have done this with some Cost cutting technique that I use. I usually purchase a Whole Port Loin and bring in home and cut one end into a 2 to 2 1/2 lb roast and wrap that for freezing. Then I cut several center cut boneless pork chops and wrap them also for serving size freezing. The other end, I Have almost 3 lbs left and I take that end and cut it Horizontally to have two separate roast in the size of a tenderloin. That is the section I use for this recipe. Not as tender as a tenderloin…but just as tasty. The whole Pork Loin would cost less than $1.48 a lb and usually, I can find it at $1,28 lb. Just a FYI for your readers. Tom
Considering making this on the grill, so we don’t need to turn on the oven (it’s hot here).Ant experience with grilling this recipe?
This pork and vegetable dish was out of this world. We live in Bolivia and didn’t have hoisin sauce so improvised with a substitute I found online and it was amazing. It’s the best dish I made in a long time – and so easy!! Thank you!!
Looks delish! Would it work to substitute asparagus for the green beans?
Yes! For sure!
Made this recipe last night. Wow!! Super delicious and quick and easy. My green beans were a little too al dente, but ate them anyways. This recipe is outstanding!
Thank you for sharing!
This was absolutely amazing! It did have to bake for 35 minutes. Will definitely be making again.
Absolutely wonderful! Had never tried hoisin before this. The only available at my store was Hoisin Garlic. Still followed the recipe, including the amount of garlic except doubled recipe for our family. Good thing we love garlic! Was so good my son warned others that they’d better grab their share or he would eat it all! DIL loved the hoisin, and requested it for the chicken thighs I had planned for the next night.
This recipe is going into the rotation!
Forgot to say: Fresh green beans not being in season, I subbed thawed frozen green beans. Nice!
Meat was very tender and juicy.
Very fast and excellent recipe! We all loved it, including my adult son who can be a bit finicky. I put sweet potatoes on one half and small white potatoes on the other side. All was de-lish! It’s a keeper!
Loved this recipe! Great flavor and it doesn’t taste like soy sauce at all. Guess I’ll try using hoisin suave again when soy is called for as my hubby doesn’t like soy. Have already plans to make it again next week when family visits. I used small red potatoes and they needed a little more cooking. So I removed the tenderloin and let it rest while I finished the potatoes. Think the finger potatoes would be perfect! I also used nonstick foil on my sheet pan nd I worked very well.
Absolutely loved this dish will be going into the rotation. Will trying it with asparagus next time.
Absolutely delicious !!!! As others have stated, green beans were a bit undercooked even after increasing total time to 40 minutes, but still wonderful . Served with a yummy red blend wine from Paso Robles….WOW !!!
That’s great Lyn! We love Paso! ?
We LOVED this! I had asparagus on hand so I used that in place of the green beans. It worked okay but we’ll for sure use green beans next time.
Pork Tenderloin is one of those things my mom did not make while I was growing up, so I’ve been shy about cooking it. I’ve tried but it’s always been a bit dry. Your recipe looks so so good, I have to try it! I love the small potatoes and green beans all in one pan…fabulous!
I didn’t discover it until my kids were grown and gone! I’ve made it many ways since for my husband and me… this recipe is SO delicious! Also made with all kinds of marinades (homemade or from a bottle – Stonewall Kitchen is my favorite.) Also dry rubs. My biggest mistake after 20 years of cooking it… learning not to overcook. It’s pork and we used to cook the daylights out of it back in the day. That ruins this sweet tenderloin making it dry and simply not needed now anyway.
I made this for my husband and myself last week and we were both delighted and astonished by the flavors. It was also easy and fast. We are having a family party this weekend and this is what I’ll be serving.
Outstanding, every time I’ve made this recipe.
Made this tonight, it was very TASTY! Think the next time will blanch the fresh green beans. Hubby liked the potatoes and pork the best👍
Delicious! Made the pork and veggies on separate sheet pans. Took out when each were ready. Amazing flavours!
Just made this dish an hour ago and wanted to share the experience
It was wonderful and so easy. We didn’t even use the herb butter it was so well seasoned and tasted great as it was. I recommend this dish for a small dinner gathering or a quick dinner for family.
Very easy for a non cook like me and my whole family loved. I will make two pans next time to feed my family of 4 including two teenage boys!
Made this for the first time tonight and my fiancé said it was the best dinner I ever made.
Thank you!
I have been experimenting with sheet pan meals and am finding them incredibly versatile. My regular pork tenderloin recipe requires a marinade composed of several ingredients and 24+ hrs marinating. This recipe is so darn simple and cooks up fast. We didnt have potatoes or beans, and I didnt want to make a trip to the store. Instead for our veggies we used broccoli florets, quartered xtra large mushrooms, and leeks sliced in half lengthwise. It was delicious. Cant wait to try potatoes and beans. Thank you for the great recipe!
I’ve now made this recipe twice, once with green beans and once with asparagus. Delicious!!! Only issue with the asparagus was extra water that I had to pour off during and after cooking.
I only made the pork and the potatoes, as my husband decided to cook the green beans I had for the recipe. Men-haha! Anyway, this may be my new favorite dish! The potatoes are absolute money!
Made this today for dinner and it was fantastic. My husband and I loved it. It was so simple and easy to prepare and did not need a lot of time to cook. Absolutely delicious.
