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
- 2 1 pound pork tenderloins, trimmed
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 pound green beans, stems trimmed
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes cut in half lengthwise
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter softened

Lower oven rack to middle lower position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray heavy duty baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, combine green beans with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper. Arrange green beans in center of baking sheet.
-
In the same bowl, toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper. Transfer to baking sheet and arrange on either side of green beans, cut side down.
-
Lay tenderloins, not touching, over green beans and brush with hoisin sauce, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until thickest part of tenderloins reaches 140 degrees on a meat thermometer.

October 6, 2018 at 5:57 pmMade 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!

November 3, 2018 at 12:45 pmOh 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.

March 5, 2019 at 12:58 amThis 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!!

Thank you for sharing!

March 10, 2019 at 8:56 pmThis was absolutely amazing! It did have to bake for 35 minutes. Will definitely be making again.

March 11, 2019 at 12:41 amAbsolutely 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!

March 11, 2019 at 12:44 amForgot to say: Fresh green beans not being in season, I subbed thawed frozen green beans. Nice!
Meat was very tender and juicy.

March 18, 2019 at 11:19 pmLoved 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.

April 8, 2019 at 7:52 amAbsolutely 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 !!!
Melissa
April 24, 2019 at 6:27 pmThat’s great Lyn! We love Paso! 😄

April 17, 2019 at 12:36 pmWe 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.
