01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a medium bowl, combine the Italian seasoned bread crumbs and olive oil. Mix well until the mixture is uniformly moist and easily sticks together when pressed. (3 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Place the pork tenderloin on a shallow baking sheet. Pat the surface of the pork dry with paper towels to help the breadcrumbs adhere. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Press the bread crumb mixture firmly and evenly onto all sides of the pork tenderloin, creating a crust approximately 1/4 inch thick. Ensure all surfaces are well-coated, leaving no pink meat exposed. (10 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (35-40 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Remove from oven and let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product. (10 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Slice the pork tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick medallions and serve immediately.
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese or a teaspoon of dried herbs like rosemary or thyme to the bread crumb mixture.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; ensure there is enough space for proper air circulation to allow the pork to brown evenly.
If the bread crumbs start to brown too quickly during baking, loosely tent the tenderloin with foil.

Sep 27, 2023I was worried about overcooking the pork, but it came out perfectly juicy. The resting time is key!
