Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp pepper, fresh cracked
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 lb pork tenderloin
- 1 oz ranch dressing mix packet
- 4 oz butter
- 1 lemon juice
- ¼ cup cilantro or parsley, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. If using a grill, turn the gas grill to high or prepare charcoal until heated to 375°F.
- Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper, unless it is pre-brined.
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy pan until shimmering.
- Brown the pork tenderloin on all sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- While the pork is browning, prepare the gravy by mixing melted butter, ranch dressing mix, and the juice of one lemon. Stir until smooth.
- Lay a sheet of foil on a baking sheet and place the pork tenderloin inside.
- Pour the ranch dressing gravy over the pork tenderloin and seal the foil pouch.
- Bake for 30 minutes, checking the pork's internal temperature around 25 minutes using a digital meat thermometer.
- Once the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, remove it from the oven with the foil pouch intact.
- Let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the temperature to carryover to the recommended 150°F for pork.
- Garnish with cilantro, parsley, or green onions, then slice and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for meal prep.
