Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon zest to create an herb rub.
Step 4
Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork tenderloins, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 5
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 7
Remove the pork from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve warm. Pair with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
