Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the pork tenderloin under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and mince the garlic cloves. Place both in a small bowl.
Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl, mixing well to form a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the surface of the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is fully coated.
Place the pork tenderloin in a roasting pan or a baking dish. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to help keep the meat moist while roasting.
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) using a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven, cover it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5–10 minutes to retain its juices.
Slice the tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick pieces and serve warm with your choice of side dishes.
