Ingredients

• ½ cup olive oil
• 2 pounds pork tenderloin
• 2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix bread crumbs and olive oil in bowl to reach consistency that would be moist enough to stick to the meat when pressed. Place pork on a shallow cooking sheet. Press the crumb mixture onto all sides of the meat until there is no pink showing, usually 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Bake for at least 35 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) or until there is no pink when the pork is cut. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes, then cut into 1/2 inch slices.
