Ingredients
- 1.25 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Cooking instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and trim away any silver skin. Place it in a small roasting pan or ovenproof skillet. (about 5 min) — 425°F
- Mince the garlic and rosemary, then mix them with the thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the pork. (about 5 min) — 425°F
- Roast until the thickest part reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cooking time may vary with the tenderloin’s thickness. (about 25 min) — 425°F
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board and immediately top it with the butter. Tent loosely with foil and rest for 5 to 10 minutes so the butter melts and the juices settle. (about 10 min) — 145°F internal
- Slice the tenderloin crosswise and spoon any melted herb butter from the board or pan over the slices. Serve warm. (about 2 min) — N/A
