Stovetop pork tenderloin

My grilled pork tenderloin on the stovetop is a super simple recipe that you can make indoors on a grill pan and finish off cooking in the oven.

If you have been wondering how to grill pork tenderloin on the stovetop, well today is your lucky day! This recipe is similar to my grilled chicken on the stovetop, where I sear the meat on a grill pan first, and then I finish cooking it in the oven.

My flavor profile for this recipe is pretty simple: I use olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. And that’s it! This flavor combination is perfect on pork.

As an option, you can add some orange zest, if you want to. But it is not required!

You will get the most flavor if you marinate the meat for a few hours in the fridge ahead of time (I’d say at least 4 to 8 hours). But! I have made this recipe plenty of times with no long marinade. It still tastes pretty great when you just season it right up and cook it.

Can we just talk about Rosemary for a minute? This is one of my favorite herbs. I have a big Rosemary bush in my back yard, and I use it often. It is pretty easy to grow, and it doesn’t require much care at all. It survives our (usually mild) Alabama winters just fine. So I enjoy it all year around! And pork is like Rosemary’s BFF. They go together really well.

If you want to add an additional flavor pop to this dish, I recommend a sweet dipping sauce. My orange sherry vinaigrette is The Perfect Pairing for this dish. It is sweet, and the orange flavor is perfect alongside the rosemary, garlic and pork.

Tools Used in This Recipe

Note: These are Amazon affiliate links.

  • Oven-safe grill pan. I use this one.
  • Tongs for flipping the meat over
  • Electric knife, only if you want super thin slices (like for sliders). Otherwise, a regular sharp knife will do just fine!

    Yummy yummy. Thank you- I love the touch of zest. And I was specifically looking for a “finished in the oven recipe.” (Pork always makes me nervous. Came great- exactly what we needed.

    Sounds delicious but I can’t make it because it requires an oven. Please change the title so that your recipe doesn’t come up when somebody searches for stove top recipes. Thanks!
