Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 1-1.5 lbs) pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh thyme
- 3 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
Season the pork tenderloin with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, parsley, rosemary, and thyme. Mix well to form a paste.
Using a brush or your hands, evenly spread the herb and mustard mixture over the entire surface of the pork tenderloin.
In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Roll the pork tenderloin in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the herb crust adheres evenly.
Place the pork tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Roast the pork tenderloin for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the herb-crusted pork tenderloin warm, paired with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
