I love this bbq pork loin recipe (or pork tenderloin recipe) because it is simple to prepare and just cooks in the oven while you go off to do other things.
It may not be quite a 30 minute meal, but you’ll spend far less than that putting it together.
The pork barbeque sauce is not a complicated sauce, but with the seasonings on the meat, it will taste like you stood over a hot stove for hours!
Don’t you just love that?
The seasonings for this pork dish are simple but pack a lot of flavor. Onion salt, garlic salt, dried thyme and dried mustard all add their signature flavors to this easy oven bake pork loin.
The sauce that gets poured over the pork and baked in is simple but will add a lot of flavor to the pork as well.
The sauce recipe isn’t spicy but if you like it spicy just add your favorite hot sauce or dried red chili flakes to the sauce before you cover the pork with it. That spicy taste will be baked right into the pork.
I love this recipe. It’s simple yet so delicious. Pork takes on flavors so wonderfully.
BBQ Pork Loin Side Dishes
Here is a suggestion for side dishes:
Since you have the oven on already, why don’t you make side dishes that bake in the oven as well?
Roasted carrots with thyme would be a perfect side dish for this bbq pork loin recipe. Bake a few potatoes beside the carrots and pork and you have a complete dinner that gets cooked in the oven. How is that for easy?

I’m am going to make this, as it sounds great..but I’m going to leave it whole..it’s 4 lb. How ong should I cook it? It certainly must be longer than if it’s cut into 1/2 inch cubes HELP!!
Hi Elaine,
Well I’m not a chef but yes you would need to cooking for much longer. It depends on the thickness of the meat you are talking about. I would think maybe 1 hour, based on other roast pork loin recipes on the site. I do have to say though that I am not sure.
Just a note: Remember that when you are cooking the pork in a large piece like that, the lovely sauce will just be on top and not surrounding each piece like it would if you cut it into cubes.
