Pork Tenderloin Recipe

[hoyeon]

Hey everyone! I wanted to share one of my all-time favorite recipes for pork tenderloin. It's perfect for both lunch and dinner, super flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Ingredients:​

• 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 lemon (for zest and juice)
  

Instructions:​

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Marinate the Pork:
   • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, pepper, and the zest and juice of the lemon.
   • Rub the mixture all over the pork tenderloin. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer if you have time, up to a few hours).
3. Sear the Pork:
   • Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of olive oil.
   • Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until it's golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
4. Roast the Pork:
   • Transfer the skillet with the pork tenderloin to the preheated oven.
   • Roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). If you don’t have a meat thermometer, you can check if the pork is done by slicing into the thickest part; it should be slightly pink in the center.
   • Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing.
5. Serve:
   • Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve with your favorite sides. I love pairing it with roasted veggies or a fresh salad!

I hope you give this recipe a try! It’s a hit every time I make it. Let me know if you have any tweaks or favorite sides to pair with it!

This sounds amazing! Especially the marinade - rosemary and thyme sound like the perfect flavor combo for pork. I love that it can be prepped ahead too. Definitely going to try this next week, thanks for sharing!
