Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 cup dry white wine
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 tbsp butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the pork and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute, until fragrant, then stir in the chopped kalamata olives, minced rosemary, and lemon zest.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any brown bits. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and stir well. Place the seared pork tenderloin back into the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over it.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Tent it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 10

Place the skillet with the sauce back on the stovetop over low heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter to enrich the sauce.

Step 11

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve with the kalamata rosemary sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy!
