Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, coconut aminos, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to form the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it's well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
Refrigerate the pork for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, to let the flavors penetrate the meat.
When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the pork from marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the marinade.
Place a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork tenderloin and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the slices of savory marinated pork with your favorite Paleo-friendly sides.
