Garlic Rosemary Pork Tenderloin

Pork tenderloin is one of the leanest, most tender cuts of pork, and it roasts quickly in a hot oven. A simple rub of garlic, rosemary, and olive oil is all it needs. The result is a beautifully browned, juicy roast that slices into perfect medallions. It looks like you spent hours but takes about 30 minutes total.

Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 lb each)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • ½ tsp garlic granules
  • 1 tsp Redmond Real Salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat the tenderloins dry.
  2. Mix the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, garlic granules, salt, and pepper into a paste. Rub all over the pork.
  3. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the tenderloins for 2 minutes per side until browned on all sides.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15 to 18 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  5. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing into medallions.

Notes

  • Do not overcook pork tenderloin. It should be slightly pink in the center at 145°F.
  • Make a quick pan sauce by deglazing the skillet with broth and a splash of apple cider vinegar.
  • Leftovers are excellent cold in sandwiches or sliced over salads.
