Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon zest to create an herb rub.
Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork tenderloins, ensuring they are well coated.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve warm. Pair with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
