Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
• 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the herb mixture.
3. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt and pepper.
4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and coat the top of the pork tenderloin with the herb mixture, pressing it down gently.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
7. While the pork is roasting, prepare the savory sauce. In a small saucepan, combine chicken broth, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
8. Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
9. Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with the savory sauce drizzled over the top.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to let the pork rest after cooking; this keeps it juicy.
• Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, continue to simmer it until it reaches your desired consistency.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the herbs for your favorites, like basil or oregano.
• Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for a kick.
• For a twist, glaze the tenderloin with balsamic vinegar instead of honey.

What to Serve With It

• Garlic mashed potatoes for a creamy side.
• Roasted seasonal vegetables for a colorful plate.
• A simple green salad to balance the richness of the pork.
• Quinoa or rice for a hearty addition.
