Serves 4 to 6
We prefer natural pork, but if you use enhanced pork (injected with a salt solution), reduce the salt in step 2 to 1 1/2
teaspoons. A 3-inch-deep aluminum roasting pan is essential. Do not attempt this recipe with a drawer broiler. For
more information on using your broiler, see related content.
INGREDIENTS
2
1 1/4
1/2
teaspoon pepper
1/4
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Adjust oven rack 4 to 5 inches from broiler element and heat oven to 325 degrees. Fold thin tip of each tenderloin
under about 2 inches to create uniformly shaped roast. Tie tenderloins crosswise with kitchen twine at 2-inch
intervals, making sure folded tip is secured underneath. Trim excess twine close to meat to prevent it from scorching
under broiler.
2. Mix salt, oil, and pepper in small bowl until salt is evenly coated with oil. Add baking soda and stir until well
combined. Rub mixture evenly over pork. Place tenderloins in disposable pan, evenly spaced between sides of pan and
each other.
3. Turn oven to broil. Immediately place meat in oven and broil tenderloins for 5 minutes. Flip tenderloins and

continue to broil until golden brown and meat registers 125 to 130 degrees, 8 to 14 minutes. Remove disposable pan
from oven, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove twine, slice tenderloins into 1/2-inchthick slices, and serve.

UNDERSTANDING BROILERS
To use a broiler effectively, its important to understand how it differs from regular oven cooking. While roasting relies
on convective heat (air molecules surround the food), a broiler cooks food primarily with radiant heat, a form of
invisible infrared light waves. The broiler element can reach 2,000 degrees. This poses an inherent challenge in all
broiling, and the way most broilers operate doesnt make it any easier.
PREHEATING IS UNRELIABLE
Most broilers have no ready signal, so youre left guessing when the broiler is preheated. Those that heat quickly may
cycle off during cooking, while slow-to-heat broilers will be too cool and wont cook the food in the given time.

TECHNIQUE
AVOID OVERCOOKING
As the roasts rest, their internal temperature rises 10 to 15 degrees more than it would in a typical roasting recipe.
For the ideal 145-degree serving temperature, take them out of the oven when they hit 125 degrees.
