How to Make Tender & Juicy Pork Tenderloin
Spoiler alert – I’ve served plenty of tough, dry pork tenderloins in my day. So much so that I quit buying this cut of meat years ago.
Then, I went to a lunch and learn presentation by Thermador appliances. The chef served a delicious pork tenderloin made in the convection steam oven. That sparked a renewed interest in pork tenderloin.
The great thing about this sheet pan pork tenderloin recipe is that you don’t need a convection steam oven for a juicy tenderloin!
By placing the pork over the green beans, the steam released as the beans cook keeps the tenderloin moist. This creates a perfectly roasted tenderloin that’s browned on the outside, and moist and tender inside.
Pork Tenderloin and Green Beans
Fresh green beans are always best, but you’ll get similar results with frozen. Avoid the petite or smaller green beans in favor of regular sized frozen green beans. The smaller green beans tend to come out soggier.
Pork Tenderloin and Potatoes
I’ve used both russet and tiny red potatoes in this recipe. Actually, any type of potato will work here.
Keep the potatoes to about 2 inches in diameter so that they roast properly. If you use sweet potatoes, cube them to 1 inch in diameter as they take longer to roast.
Pro Tip: Use parchment paper or foil on your sheet pan to minimize clean up.
So, let’s make a Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin Dinner!

Lay tenderloins, side by side without touching, lengthwise on top of green beans. Roast until pork registers 140 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer tenderloins to carving board and dot each with 1 tablespoon reserved herb butter. Tent with aluminum foil and let rest while vegetables finish cooking.
-
Gently stir vegetables on sheet to combine. Return sheet to oven and roast until vegetables are tender and golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes longer.

Remove from oven, add remaining 2 tablespoons herb butter to sheet, and toss vegetables to coat. Transfer vegetables to platter. Cut pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place over vegetables, pouring any accumulated juices over top. Serve.

For best results, use tenderloins of equal size.
Cook Once, Eat Twice
Something I didn’t mention earlier is that this is a perfect cook once, eat twice meal. Unless you have a really large family, you’ll have leftover pork. I’m making pork tacos the following night with my leftover pork.
Have an amazing day, and make something special!
