I have a small (~1 lb) pork tenderloin roast that I forgot until now that I was going to cook this evening. What's the best way to cook it?[More:] I was thinking some sort of dry rub and a quick roast, but can't really come up with an idea. Any tried-and-true recipes out there?
I've cooked pork tenderloin, but never "pork tenderloin roast." Here's my favorite recipe. I use other herbs too -- especially caraway. Can also use pears and cabbage underneath the pork. Serve with roasted potatoes.

Pups, that's perfect, thank you. I was going to make roasted fennel, parsnip and carrots to go with it so that would fit perfectly. We have a winner!

Of course, that shouldn't stop any other recipe ideas. Recipes = awesome.

oh, I don't have a meat thermometer. Do you find that the times for that recipe are pretty much right?

I've made Rachael Ray's Cuban Pork Tenderloin a few times (substituting fennel seed for anise) and it's really good.

Yeah, I've found the cooking time accurate. You can use the touch test, too.

Probably too late for tonight, but a popular tenderloin recipe at our house is to marinate about 30 mins (if you've got the time) and then preheat oven to 350F. Brown the tenderloin in olive oil in an oven proof skillet over medium-high heat, then pop in the oven for 20 minutes. Really good with black beans & rice and a mango and/or pineapple salsa.

Your recipe was great, mudpuppie! Delicious. I recommend to anyone reading this thread.

Glad you liked it! I've got one in the freezer, might have to make it this week. Perfect weather for it.
