Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1.5 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tbsp Butter
• 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable stock (optional for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the pork tenderloin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then massage the garlic-herb mixture evenly over the surface of the meat.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is shimmering, sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 7

Add the butter to the skillet and use a spoon to baste the pork with the melted butter for extra flavor.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the tenderloin for 14-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.

Step 9

Remove the pork from the oven, tent it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 10

Optional: Add chicken or vegetable stock to the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits to create a quick pan sauce.

Step 11

Slice the pork tenderloin into 1-inch-thick medallions, drizzle with the pan sauce if desired, and serve warm.
