EASY HERBED PORK TENDERLOIN
Pork tenderloin is a naturally lean white meat whose versatility (and quick cooking time) we love. It's also a great source of absorbable iron and B vitamins. Look for organic pork or pork raised without antibiotics for the cleanest cuts. Fresh herbs provide simple seasoning; opt for buying poultry blend herbs, which will provide a mix of rosemary and thyme in one package (instead of buying two separate packages). This recipe makes a double serving of pork; you'll use half of it the next day to top a lunch salad. We suggest buying poultry blend herbs, which will provide a mix of rosemary and thyme in 1 package (instead of buying 2 separate packages). Be sure to reserve half of the pork for the next day's lunch. This recipe goes with: Winter Salad with Easy Herbed Pork Tenderloin

Steps:
- Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

HERBED PORK TENDERLOINS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place the tenderloins on a sheet pan and pat them dry with paper towels. Combine the rosemary, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the tenderloins all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle all sides with the herb mixture. If there is a thinner "tail," fold it underneath so the tenderloin is an even thickness throughout. Wrap the tenderloins completely with a single layer of prosciutto. (I place the prosciutto sideways with the ends wrapping under the tenderloins.) Tie in several places with kitchen string to hold the prosciutto and the "tail" in place.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the end of the tenderloin reads 140 degrees F for medium rare and 145 degrees F for medium. Cover the tenderloins tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice diagonally in thick slices and serve warm with apple chutney.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Rub pork with oil and sprinkle evenly with red pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. (I just use my coffee grinder to grind up red pepper flakes).

- Transfer pork to small nonstick baking pan. Tuck tapered end of tenderloin under itself for even cooking.
- Roast 18 to 22 minutes or until barely pink inside.
- Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius) for medium.
- Rest the pork tenderloin for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- For a more flavorful herb crust, use a variety of fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, and sage. You can also add a touch of garlic or lemon zest for extra flavor.
- If you don't have a skillet that is oven-safe, you can sear the pork tenderloin in a regular skillet and then transfer it to a baking dish for roasting.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
Conclusion:
Fresh Herbed Pork Tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of tender pork, flavorful herbs, and crispy crust is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and impressive main course, give this recipe a try.
