Pork Tenderloin (Herb Crusted) image

Don't confuse this pork tenderloin with a pork loin roast, as they are 2 different cuts of meat. A pork tenderloin is smaller than a pork loin roast. For those of you who shop at Costco, the pork tenderloins come packaged 2 per package in their fresh meat department. If you have any questions e-mail me: [email protected]

Time 1h10m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (2 -3 lb) boneless pork tenderloin (fat left on)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/8 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chicken stock
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place pork tenderloin, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
  • Pour olive oil, chicken stock and wine over the pork tenderloin.
  • Brush both sides of pork tenderloin with Dijon mustard and place on rack in roasting pan with fat side up.
  • Combine the rest of the seasonings in a small bowl and sprinkle over the pork tenderloin.
  • Roast pork tenderloin, uncovered, for 15 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 375 degrees, and roast for an additional 45 minutes.
  • Test for doneness using an instant-read thermometer. When the internal temperature reaches 135-140 degrees, remove the roast from the oven. Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes before carving, as it continues to cook while resting.
  • You can whisk a little flour into the pan juices to make a gravy.
