Test Kitchen Tips Here are some some tips and tricks from Nicole that might make the cooking process easier: Remove the silver skin (the tough connective tissue on the outside of the meat) by sliding a sharp knife under the skin. Angle the knife upward to avoid cutting off unnecessary meat. If you don’t want to remove the silver skin, that’s totally fine. Don’t skimp on the seasonings! “You want to season evenly and liberally to develop a nice crust, according to Nicole. No oven proof skillet? No problem. Nicole recommends searing it in the pan, then transferring the pork to a baking dish to finish it in the oven. Another tip for developing a perfect crust: Avoid touching the pork tenderloin once it’s in the hot pan. This is key to the crispiest, crustiest, most irresistible crust. “Like any well-roasted meat, you’ve got to let it rest or the pork tenderloin will go bone dry when you slice into it.” What to Serve With Easy Pork Tenderloin Explore our collection of 10 Best Side Dishes for Pork Tenderloin for delicious serving inspiration.
