A delicious and aromatic pork tenderloin recipe with a flavorful herb and garlic crust.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking from the start.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the fresh garlic, sage, coarse salt, ground pepper, and olive oil to create a paste.
Mixing the ingredients thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the herb-garlic mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin, coating all sides.
Massaging the mixture into the meat helps the flavors penetrate better.
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
Searing locks in the juices and creates a flavorful crust.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork tenderloin, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), about 20 minutes.
Using a meat thermometer ensures the pork is cooked to a safe and perfect temperature.
Remove the pork from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and juicy texture.
Slice the pork tenderloin and serve it with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy your meal!
Presenting the dish with a garnish of fresh herbs adds a touch of elegance.
