Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

How to Make Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Fruit Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.
3. Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, then coat it evenly with the herb mixture.
4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
6. While the pork is resting, prepare the berry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, honey, and lemon juice over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
7. Stir in the butter until melted and well combined. Remove from heat.
8. Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve drizzled with the berry sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Let the pork rest before slicing to maintain its juices.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
• Feel free to mix and match herbs based on your preference.
• For a richer sauce, add a splash of red wine while cooking the berries.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the mixed berries with other fruits like peaches or cherries for a different flavor profile.
• Add a hint of spice by incorporating crushed red pepper flakes into the herb rub.
• Experiment with different types of mustard in the sauce for added complexity.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting side.
• Roasted seasonal vegetables for a colorful plate.
• A fresh arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette to balance the richness.
• Quinoa or wild rice for a hearty grain option.
