Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lemon, zest grated
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 to 6 lemons)
Good olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt
3 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
Freshly ground black pepper

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: For the best results, use bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help them stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Make sure the marinade has enough time to work its magic: The longer you marinate the pork chops, the more flavorful they will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate them for as little as 30 minutes, but for the best flavor, marinate them for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will be more likely to burn on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops are cooked to the proper temperature: The internal temperature of the pork chops should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit when they are done. This will ensure that they are safe to eat and still juicy and flavorful.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Herb-marinated pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
