    Buttery Cajun Pork Tenderloin

    I’ve seen these pork tenderloin packets be as low as $2.00! All of the ingredients that it took to make this meal (tenderloin, broccoli, and rice pilaf) was $11.40, and per serving $2.85. My family will attest, this recipe makes one the most tender and juicy pork tenderloins you’ve ever had!

    Ingredients

    • 2-2 ½ lb pork tenderloins
    • 4 cups water
    • ¼ cup kosher salt
    • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
    • All-Purpose Cajun Seasoning
    • 2-3 tablespoon oil
    • 3 tablespoon butter cut into 6 slices
    • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

    Instructions

    • In a gallon Ziploc bag, combine water, salt, vinegar, and brown sugar. Mix and dissolve the ingredients, then add both tenderloins. Brine in the refrigerator for 20 minutes (no longer). 
    • Remove the tenderloins from the brine, and dry well. 
    • Preheat oven to 400°F. 
    • Season the tenderloins with Tony Chachere Seasoning on all sides. Heat oil in a skillet on high heat, and sear the tenderloins 2 minutes on 2 opposite sides. Transfer each tenderloin to its own aluminum foil. Top with butter slices and Italian seasoning. Close securely and place on a baking sheet.
    • Bake 18-24 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145-150°F. Slightly loosen the foil, and let stand 5-10 minutes. 
    • Carefully drain the seasoned butter to a serving bowl, and slice at a diagonal.
