HERBED PORK TENDERLOINS

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pork tenderloins (2 1/2 to 3 pounds total)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Good olive oil
10 to 12 slices prosciutto

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.

Tips:

  • To save time, ask your butcher to butterfly the pork loin for you.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the pork loin.
  • Be sure to pat the pork loin dry before searing it. This will help to create a nice crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the pork loin. This will cause the meat to steam instead of brown.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork loin is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Thyme and rosemary pork loin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork loin is juicy and flavorful, and the thyme and rosemary add a wonderful depth of flavor. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted potatoes, green beans, or a simple salad.
