The Best Pork Tenderloin Recipe

September 4, 2018 by Melissa 78 Comments

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.

Pork Tenderloin Recipe

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.

easy sheet pan recipe

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.

The best pork recipe

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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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 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!

    Made this for the first time and we loved it. When the pork was done I took it out of the oven added the garlic butter and let it rest I put the pan of potatoes and beans back in the oven to get a little browner and crisp the potatoes. Pulled them out, added the garlic butter, sliced the pork and dinner was served. Glad we have leftovers. Love sheet pan dinners and this one is outstanding.

Veggies were cooked perfectly and offered perfect balance to the dish.
