Pork Tenderloin FAQ
The USDA recommends cooking pork chops, pork roasts, and pork tenderloin to a minimum internal temperature 145° F - and allow it to rest for a minumum of 3 minutes.
How long you cook your tenderloin per pound, depends on the temp at which you're cooking the roast. A cooking temp of 325 °F on average takes about 25 minutes per pound while a cooking temp of 400-450 °F can take an average of 15-20 minutes per pound.
At 325 °F a tenderloin will need to cook for about 25 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 °F.
Let your pork tenderloin rest by placing it on a cutting board and loosely tent it with foil. Let rest for 5 and 10 minutes.
