Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, paprika, and lemon juice.
Rub the spice and herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork tenderloin.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork tenderloin to the skillet and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. This helps to lock in the juices.
Once seared, pour the chicken broth around the pork tenderloin in the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork tenderloin into 1/2 inch thick slices and serve with the pan juices drizzled over the top.
