Ingredients for Herb And Garlic Roast Pork Tenderloin

  • 1.5 lb pork tenderloin
  • Fresh Parsley
  • Fresh Thyme
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Olive Oil

How to Make Herb And Garlic Roast Pork Tenderloin

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary.
  3. Rub the herb mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin (about 1.5 lbs).
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 155°F (68°C).
  7. Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork tenderloin.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
