Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin 1 to 1.5 pounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh Rosemary finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin. Pat it dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper with olive oil to make a paste.
- Rub the herb mixture all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear it on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (if your skillet is not oven-safe, transfer the pork to a baking dish). Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Notes
- Trim the Pork Well: Make sure to trim off any excess fat and silver skin from the pork tenderloin for the best texture and even cooking.
- Room Temperature Meat: For even cooking, let the pork sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before you start cooking.
- Herb Flexibility: Feel free to swap out the herbs based on what you have. Sage or basil can work well too.
- Resting Time is Key: Always let your pork rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking. This helps the juices redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful.
- Leftover Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat gently for best results.
