Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin
Description
This Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin recipe involves coating a cleaned pork tenderloin with a Dijon mustard layer that acts as an adhesive for a crust made from panko breadcrumbs blended with minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. The breadcrumb coating adds a crispy texture that contrasts the tender, juicy meat inside. Roasting the tenderloin in a preheated 4006F oven allows the crust to brown beautifully while cooking the pork to a safe temperature of 1556F, leaving a slightly blush center.
The mustard provides a subtle sharpness that complements the aromatic herbs and enhances the savory notes of the pork. Resting the pork after roasting lets the juices redistribute, maintaining a moist interior. The finished dish provides a flavorful centerpiece suitable for slicing and serving with sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
