These succulent tenderloin slices will go beautifully with our Hasselback Potatoes. I am not sure what has taken me so long to share my tenderloin recipe. God knows we eat it a couple of times a month. It’s such an easy way of getting dinner on the table, which feels a bit luxurious but takes half an hour to throw together. And if you add a couple of equally fast and easy sides, you will feel like you are enjoying a proper roast dinner in the middle of the week.
What to serve with tenderloin
On a regular weekday I don’t fuss with the sides and often serve this dish either with boiled and buttered baby potatoes or with a big and chunky salad. Or pull out a lovely jacket potato. I go for the baby potatoes because they take barely any time to cook and you don’t need to peel them. However, if you have more time than half an hour, try my Spiced Roasted Baby Potatoes…flavour explosion. Another quick side dish, that is so complimentary to the roasted pork tenderloin, is pan fried mushrooms with Parmesan. They are both flavoured with rosemary and are absolutely delicious together.
What is Pork Tenderloin?
Pork tenderloin is a very similar to beef tenderloin. It is also called pork fillet. Yes, just like its beef counterpart. It is the most tender part of the animal, and also the leanest. If you are a big chicken breast fan, you will love pork tenderloin as well. Just as lean and so delicious. It also requires short cooking times, which is a bonus. Pork tenderloin and pork loin are NOT the same thing and could not be used interchangeably in recipes. If you need to know how to cook pork loin with the best gravy, here is my pork loin roast recipe. Favourite Pork Recipes to Try:
