Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary leaves
• 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Mix well to form a thick paste.

Step 4

Rub the mustard and herb mixture evenly over the surface of the pork tenderloin, ensuring a full coat.

Step 5

Spread the panko breadcrumbs evenly on a plate. Roll the pork tenderloin in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere to the mustard and herb coating.

Step 6

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, carefully add the pork tenderloin to the skillet.

Step 7

Sear the pork tenderloin for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crusted.

Step 8

Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet and baste the pork by spooning the melted butter over the top for extra flavor.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the tenderloin for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least 5 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 11

Slice the tenderloin into medallions and serve immediately. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
