Pork tenderloin in air fryer

Great served on egg cloud rolls --recipe found here: https://nannykimsrecipes.blogspot.com/2025/10/egg-cloud-rolls-carnivore.html

Love— I  did add rosemary and garlic powder along with the salt. For the oil I used some grease left from some pork belly. Found the recipe below from AI

To cook a pork tenderloin in the air fryer as part of a carnivore diet, focus on a simple preparation using only animal-based ingredients. For the purest carnivore approach, use only pork and salt, or include animal fats and minimal spices for added flavor

Ingredients

• 1 pork tenderloin (about 1–1.5 lbs)
• 1 tbsp pork lard, tallow, or bacon grease
• 1–2 tsp high-quality salt (such as Redmond Real Salt or Himalayan salt) 

Equipment

• Paper towels
• Air fryer
• Instant-read meat thermometer

Instructions

1. Prepare the pork. Remove the tenderloin from the refrigerator about 20–30 minutes before cooking. This helps the meat cook more evenly. Pat the entire tenderloin completely dry with paper towels.
2. Coat and season. Rub the tenderloin with melted pork lard, tallow, or bacon grease. Then, sprinkle the salt evenly over the entire surface, pressing it gently to help it adhere.
3. Preheat the air fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (205°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Air fry the tenderloin. Place the seasoned pork tenderloin in the air fryer basket, ensuring it has space for air to circulate. Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes.
5. Flip and finish. After 10 minutes, flip the tenderloin over to ensure even cooking. Continue cooking for another 8–12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
   • The USDA safe internal temperature for pork is 145°F (63°C) for a medium-rare finish.
   • For medium-well, aim for 160°F (71°C).
6. Rest the meat. Once cooked, transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board. Cover it with foil and let it rest for at least 5–10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender, moist result. The internal temperature will continue to rise slightly as it rests.
7. Slice and serve. Slice the tenderloin into medallions and enjoy. You can pour any juices that collected on the cutting board over the sliced meat for extra flavor.
