Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse the pork tenderloin under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and mince the garlic cloves. Place both in a small bowl.
Step 4
Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl, mixing well to form a marinade.
Step 5
Rub the marinade evenly over the surface of the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 6
Place the pork tenderloin in a roasting pan or a baking dish. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to help keep the meat moist while roasting.
Step 7
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) using a meat thermometer.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven, cover it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5–10 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 9
Slice the tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick pieces and serve warm with your choice of side dishes.
