Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup.

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and set it aside on a cutting board.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the herb and garlic marinade.

Step 4

Rub the marinade all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until it is golden brown all over. This step locks in the juices and creates a flavorful crust.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet with the pork tenderloin into the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Resting ensures the juices redistribute through the meat, making it tender and juicy.

Step 8

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a light salad.
