If you love marinated meats, you should definitely try my Flank Steak recipe and my Marinated Chicken Tenders. Oh, and don’t miss my Easy, No Fuss Pork Tenderloin recipe!
Pork tenderloin is one of my favorite easy cuts of meat to cook for my family, especially for a nice Sunday dinner that seems fancy but couldn’t be easier to make. This is my go-to pork tenderloin marinade recipe, and it’s all thanks to my Mom, who always taught me that the key to a good pork tenderloin marinade is simply 1 part oil, 1 part lemon juice, and lots of garlic! I’ve since adapted her method to add a few extra flavors, thanks to this recipe from Fifteen Spatulas. I season the pork with salt and pepper, add a little bit of dijon mustard, and if I have fresh rosemary on hand, I’ll add that too. This is such a great pork recipe to make ahead of time since the pork can marinate overnight, or even for several days. You can cook it in the oven or on the grill. Here is my recipe for Easy, No-Fuss Pork Tenderloin.
Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper on all sides. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, dijon mustard, garlic, and rosemary. Add meat and marinade to a ziplock bag and marinate for 2 hours or overnight.
Can you marinate pork tenderloin too long? According to Foodsafety.gov, marinated pork can be stored safely in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. While poultry is likely to start to break down if marinated longer than 2 days, pork tenderloin can safely hold up for several days when stored correctly in the refrigerator.
Yes! You can store marinated pork tenderloin in the freezer for up to 5 months. Simply prepare the marinade as described a place it in a freezer safe, gallon ziplock bag. Place the pork tenderloin in the marinade and try to get as much air out as possible before sealing the bag. Store laying flat in the freezer (this will help keep a flatter shape until it’s frozen, making it easier to store).
