Ingredients

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Combine Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Brush over the pork.
- Combine fresh herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pork (or roll the pork in the mixture).
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown pork, about 2 minutes per side.
- Place pork on a baking sheet and roast 18-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads an internal temperature of 145° F.
- Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes
- Ensure you're using a pork tenderloin (and not a pork loin).
- Roast uncovered for the best results.
- Pork is lean and can easily overcook. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches 145°F. I remove the pork from the oven between 140-142°F and it will continue to rise as it rests.
- Let the pork rest at least 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Once rested and sliced, pour any juices from the pork overtop before serving for extra flavor.
