Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Fresh sage leaves
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking oil.
Finely chop the sage leaves and garlic cloves, then combine them in a small bowl with the breadcrumbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the crust mixture.
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the entire surface of the pork.
Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the pork tenderloin, ensuring it adheres well to all sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the tenderloin for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve it warm. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
