A four-herb and garlic marinade brings out the flavors of this lean cut of pork.
Yield: 4 servings
Difficulty Rating: Easy
Nutritional Highlights: Pork tenderloin is just as lean as boneless, skinless chicken breast with only 2.98 grams fat in a 3-ounce cooked serving. Lean pork is high in protein, B vitamins and a good source of potassium and zinc.
Dried herbs are more concentrated than fresh. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, remember that typically 1 teaspoon of dried herbs equals 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs.
Instructions
Combine all the herbs, seasonings and oil into a bowl. Rub the herb-oil mixture all over the pork tenderloin. Allow to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Sear the pork in olive oil until browned on all sides on medium-high heat.
Roast the pork in the oven on a sheet pan until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees on a meat thermometer, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
