Pork Tenderloin with Fresh Herbs

Ingredients
1 ¹⁄₂ to 2-pound pork tenderloin
Olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 or 2 sprigs fresh herbs (I’ve used rosemary and thyme, both with great success)

Instructions
1. Rub tenderloin with oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for an hour or two in the refrigerator.

2. Preheat oven to 375*F.

3. Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in an over-safe sauté pan over high heat. Sear tenderloin on all sides until nicely colored all over. Transfer pan to oven and roast for 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145*F. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before thinly slicing on the bias.

Comments
This is a tried and true recipe in my home.   I think it originally came from a Food TV chef, but I can’t remember which one.  The result of this recipe is tender, moist, and flavorful.  It’s also super easy to throw together which is a huge plus.
