Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the pork tenderloin evenly with Dijon mustard to create a sticky base for the herb crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle the herb mixture over the tenderloin, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 6

Spread the breadcrumbs on a plate and roll the mustard-coated tenderloin over the breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the crust and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

Step 11

Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Slice into medallions and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
