Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup chicken stock or broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat and silver skin from the pork tenderloin, then pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Rub the herb mixture evenly over the surface of the pork tenderloin.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned all around.

Step 7

Add the butter to the skillet and baste the tenderloin with the melted butter using a spoon.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board to rest for 5-7 minutes.

Step 10

Place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat and pour in the chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze.

Step 11

Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.

Step 12

Slice the pork tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions and serve with the pan sauce drizzled on top.
