Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika to make a paste.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly all over the pork tenderloin.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides (about 1-2 minutes per side) until lightly browned. This creates a flavorful crust.
Transfer the pork tenderloin to the prepared baking sheet.
In another small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and honey. Brush this mixture generously over the seared pork tenderloin.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork from the oven, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute for maximum tenderness.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve warm. Pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
