Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the pork tenderloin with the spice and herb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the pork tenderloin to a roasting pan and pour the lemon juice over it.
In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in Dijon mustard until fully combined.
Pour the broth mixture over the pork tenderloin in the roasting pan.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve with pan juices drizzled on top.
