Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp Fresh thyme, chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Season the pork tenderloin evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, and panko breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Sear the pork tenderloin in the hot skillet on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the tenderloin from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

Brush the seared tenderloin with Dijon mustard, ensuring an even coating around the entire surface.

Step 8

Press the herb and breadcrumb mixture evenly onto the mustard-coated pork tenderloin, ensuring it is well coated.

Step 9

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, and return the coated pork tenderloin to the pan.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and loosely tent the pork tenderloin with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Slice the tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions and serve immediately.
