Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 - 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Mix the olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper into a bowl, then add to a Ziploc gallon bag.
  • Add the pork tenderloin to the bag, close it, and cover it with the marinade. Marinate the pork for 30 minutes, but up to 5 days while refrigerated.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • Remove the pork tenderloin from the bag and place it in the air fryer. Cook it for 22 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through until it hits 145 degrees internally.
  • Let the air fryer pork tenderloin rest for at least 5 minutes, slice into medallions, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Marinate the pork tenderloin for at least 30 minutes for great flavor, but I like to let it sit in the fridge overnight or even several days if I can plan ahead.
  • Trim and remove any silver skin before marinating. This is my trick to making sure the pork cooks evenly and stays tender.
  • I pat the pork dry before cooking. Removing excess moisture helps it sear and develop a nice crust.
  • Once the pork tenderloin reaches 145 degrees F, I remove it from the air fryer. I use an instant-read thermometer to make sure it’s cooked perfectly.
  • I let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing so the juices don’t run out onto the cutting board.
  • Cook frozen pork tenderloin at 330 degrees F for 33-38 minutes, flipping it and basting it with the marinade halfway through cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in a preheated air fryer at 350 degrees F for 3-4 minutes.
