Trim the silverskin from the pork tenderloins. Place pork in a resealable plastic bag. Pour Dale's seasoning and Worcestershire sauce over the pork. Let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the pork from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Season tenderloins with Montreal Steak Seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for two minutes on all sides.
Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF on a meat thermometer.
Let the pork rest for about five minutes before cutting into slices. Garnish with parsley.
Notes:
Please note that a pork loin and pork tenderloin are NOT the same cut of meat. Tenderloins are thin and small. Pork loins are wide enough to cut pork chops from them.
Pork tenderloin is a very tender cut of meat; it is my favorite cut of pork.
When cooking pork tenderloin, it is important to remove the silver skin on the side of each pork tenderloin.
The silver skin is a silvery-white sheen membrane on the pork tenderloins. It is a thick connective tissue and it doesn’t break down when the pork is cooked. I use a knife and carefully cut it off. If you don’t remove the silver skin, you will have a tough, uneatable area on each tenderloin.
You can use this marinade on any cut of pork – tenderloins, pork chops, and pork loin.
Can Pork be pink? Yes! It is perfectly SAFE to eat pink pork. Cooked pork needs to have a minimum internal temperature of 145ºF. We like to cook it on the higher end of medium-rare and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. It only takes about 15 minutes to reach 145ºF, depending on how big your pork tenderloins are.
Use an instant read thermometer to check the temperature.
Do not overcook the pork! If you overcook the pork, it will transform from fork-tender to dry and chewy.
I use two pork tenderloins that totaled about 2½ to 3 pounds total. You can cut the recipe in half if you only want to use one pork tenderloin.
What is Dale’s Steak Seasoning? Dale’s is a bottled liquid steak seasoning. You can buy it here: Dale’s Steak Seasoning
What is Montreal Steak Seasoning? It is a spice blend consisting of garlic, coriander, black pepper, cayenne pepper flakes, dill seed, and salt.
You can season the pork with any of your favorite herbs and spices:
rosemary
herbs de Provence
thyme
garlic powder
onion powder
paprika
Don't let those pan juices and browned bits in the bottom of the pan go to waste. Add about 1/2 cup of beef broth to the pan and cook over medium heat until the liquid has reduced by half. Spoon the sauce over the pork slices.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
