Our Best Ideas for Pork Tenderloin

Pork tenderloin is our go-to whether we’re looking for an easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a dinner party. It’s a versatile, quick-cooking cut with a mild flavor—so it pairs beautifully with any spice blend or side dish. Serve it with a healthy side for family dinners or as the main at a non-traditional Thanksgiving meal. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser any way you prepare it. Looking for some ideas to get you started? We’ve got lots but this 5-star recipe is one of our favorites.
