Roasted Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Pork: Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloin.
3. Sear the Pork: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
4. Roast the Pork: Transfer the seared pork tenderloin to the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
5. Rest and Slice: Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Optionally, mix the Dijon mustard and honey and drizzle over the sliced pork for extra flavor.
6. Serve: Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
