Categories     Main Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces butter, softened
3 garlic cloves, minced or grated
1 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tenderloin steaks, 8 oz each and 1 to 1 1/4-inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh herbs or microgreens for garnishment

Steps:

  • In a small dish, add the butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Use a spatula to combine all of the ingredients well. Transfer the mixture onto a small piece of parchment paper. Roll into a log and twist the ends shut. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until the butter is firm.
  • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and place them on the kitchen countertop for 30 minutes prior to cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F
  • Place a cast-iron griddle or heavy-bottomed, oven-proof skillet on the stove-top over medium-high heat and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes. Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the griddle and tilt the pan to distribute it a little. Place the steaks on the oily pan and do not move them for 3 minutes, let them sear to get a good crust. Flip the steaks and sear the other side for 1 minute.
  • Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and cook for 5 minutes or until the temperature reaches your desired doneness with an instant-read thermometer (see notes for temperatures). Transfer the pan from the oven and place the steaks on a platter, cover with foil and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes.
  • While the steaks are in the oven: Remove and unwrap the chilled log of garlic-herb butter from the refrigerator, cut two thin slices, reserve until steaks have rested.
  • Add a mound of hot mashed potatoes to each serving plate, place a tenderloin steak on each mound with a slice of the garlic-herb butter on top of the steak, garnish with fresh herbs or microgreens. Add accompanying vegetables to the plate and serve immediately.

The salsa really makes this quick and easy dish look and taste wonderful. I served the turkey with a side of roasted sweet potatoes and a salad.

Tips:

  • To ensure the tenderness of the pork tenderloin, it's crucial to cook it quickly over high heat.
  • Marinating the pork tenderloin in a flavorful mixture of orange juice, lime juice, pineapple juice, and spices not only enhances its taste but also helps tenderize it.
  • Avoid overcooking the pork tenderloin, as it can quickly become dry and tough. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • Allow the pork tenderloin to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with a variety of sides to complement its tropical flavors. Grilled pineapple, roasted sweet potatoes, or a fresh mango salsa are all excellent options.
