Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin. Pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the pork tenderloin evenly with Dijon mustard to create a sticky base for the herb crust.
Sprinkle the herb mixture over the tenderloin, pressing gently to adhere.
Spread the breadcrumbs on a plate and roll the mustard-coated tenderloin over the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the crust and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice into medallions and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
