📝 Ingredients

• 1 pork tenderloin (1 to 1.5 pounds)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat Oven:: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. 2Prepare the Pork:: Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin. Pat it dry with paper towels.
3. 3Make Herb Mixture:: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper with olive oil to make a paste.
4. 4Coat the Pork:: Rub the herb mixture all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it's evenly coated.
5. 5Sear the Pork:: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear it on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. 6Bake:: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (if your skillet is not oven-safe, transfer the pork to a baking dish). Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
7. 7Rest and Serve:: Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
