Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Pork tenderloin
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
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, mix together minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, fresh rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the garlic and herb mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin, making sure to coat all sides.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the skillet around the pork tenderloin.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once done, remove the pork from the oven and tent it lightly with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork into medallions and serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
