Extremely easy Pork Tenderloin Recipe. One pan, 4 ingredients and you’ve got a quick dinner. Coriander Crusted Pork Tenderloin is a breeze to make and very satisfying one at that.
What is Coriander?
Before we get to this super easy, non-recipe pork tenderloin, I’d like to address coriander seed.
Coriander is the dried seed or fruit of the Coriandrum sativum plant, which belongs to the parsley family.
Cilantro is the leaf of this same plant and surprisingly, its flavor is vastly different from that of coriander. Cilantro has a complex but delicate flavor with a hint of pepper, mint and lemon. While Coriander seed has a sweet, aromatic taste with a touch of citrus.
If you’ve never cooked with the seed, you’re missing out on a treat. And just imagine that sweet aromatic and a touch of citrus wrapped around a pork tenderloin which has been slathered with Dijon Mustard and baked into bliss.

What a lovely pork tenderloin feast! Yummy! too!
Thanks so much Sophie
I mean really, what could be simpler and more delicious? Perfect, Lea Ann!
Exactly Barbara.
I can imagine how good a pan sauce would be using the sucs on that pan after making this. Yum!
I agree Chris. Where is that pan sauce? 🙂
Love the simplicity. I bet this will work well for my venison loins. After this last weekend I find myself with a lot of game meat…so any inspiration is welcome.
I don’t know why it wouldn’t work great with venison. Let me know.
Simple and delicious which is just what I need this week after Thanksgiving!
I agree Susan, I’m pretty “turkied” out.
Can’t get much easier than this… and oh so delicious!!!
I agree Jenn.
Thanks Anshi.

Thanks Jane.
Looks delicious Lea Ann and I like the simplicity. Corriander doesn’t get used around here very much. Enjoyed the phone talk last night.
I’m so glad you called. A nice surprise to talk with you. Now find those spices! 🙂
Wow Lea Ann! So simple and flavorful. Bookmarking this for a quick school night dinner. Thanks!
