Russian Dressing Pork Tenderloin- this pork tenderloin is first seared in a pan and then cooked in the oven in an easy sauce. This is one of my absolute favorite ways to cook pork tenderloin. It has such a unique sweet and tangy flavor.
Russian Sauce
The easy sauce is made from a bottle of Russian dressing, a packet of dry onion soup mix, and mustard. You can use either Dijon or yellow mustard. These 3 ingredients create a sweet and savory sauce that wonderfully coats the pork.
What is Russian Dressing
Russian dressing is similar to Thousand Island Dressing and Catalina Dressing. It is a sweet and tangy dressing with a ketchup and mayonnaise base. It has some zip to it and makes a great addition to sauces. You can use Catalina Dressing for this recipe instead of Russian dressing.
Equpiment Needed
You will need a Dutch oven with a lid for this recipe.
What Temperature To Cook Pork To?
Pork should be cooked to a temperature of 145 degrees F. It will continue to rise several degrees in temperature after being removed from the oven so look to remove it when it reaches 142-143 degrees. Be careful not to overcook the pork. Since pork tenderloin is very lean, it gets very dry and chewy when overcooked.
How To Serve Russina Dressing Pork Tenderloin
