What temperature to cook a pork tenderloin at?

Question

What temperature do you normally cook a pork tenderloin at? I was searching on the internet and saw anywhere from 325° to 450° and couldn't seem to find a good answer.

Also, does it depending on how long you want to cook it or in how you prepare it before cooking?

Answer

With a pork tenderloin:

Season the meat, sear all sides in a very hot pan, and then finish in the oven at 350 degrees until the internal temp. hits 145. Let sit for 10 minutes, then cut 'er up.

If you need it done faster, a higher oven temp will accomplish this, but may compromise quality. But like I said, for a tenderloin, you don't want too low, or too high. Just watch the internal temp., that is the key.
