Herb Encrusted Pork Tenderloin Recipes

HERB CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Combine Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Brush over the pork.
• Combine fresh herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pork (or roll the pork in the mixture).
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown pork, about 2 minutes per side.
• Place pork on a baking sheet and roast 18-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads an internal temperature of 145° F.
• Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

HERB-MARINATED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Place the tenderloins on a rack in a greased pan.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees.
• Bake an additional 20-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 155 degrees.
• Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.

HERB-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH TOMATO RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil. Pat the pork dry, brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss half each of the scallions, parsley and dill in a small bowl; rub all over the pork. Transfer to the baking sheet and set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the remaining scallions, the celery, garlic and rice. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, 2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low; cover and gently simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, broil the pork, turning once, until lightly browned and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, 16 to 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes.
• Stir the parmesan and remaining parsley and dill into the rice; season with salt and pepper. Slice the pork and serve with the rice. Top with more parmesan and parsley.

SLOW COOKER HERB CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN

• Set on low and cook for 4-6 hours or until internal temperature of 145 degrees F is reached.
• Removed from slow cooker and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Also removed juices from slow cooker and let cool slightly, they will thicken up like a syrup.
• Slice tenderloin and drizzle with thicken juices.

• In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Spoon herb mixture evenly over pork. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in the thickest part of pork. Cover pork loosely with foil.
• Bake 20 minutes; remove foil. Bake uncovered 10 to 15 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 155°F. Cover pork loosely with foil and let stand 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 160°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°F, and pork will be easier to carve.)

GARLIC HERB GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Cut a horizontal slit in the pork tenderloin, leaving the halves attached. Rub tenderloin with olive oil.
• Insert garlic into the slit and on onto the fatty part of pork. Press thyme and rosemary into slit. Sprinkle tenderloin with salt and pepper.

• Roast pork tenderloin, uncovered, for 15 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 375 degrees, and roast for an additional 45 minutes.
• Test for doneness using an instant-read thermometer. When the internal temperature reaches 135-140 degrees, remove the roast from the oven. Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes before carving, as it continues to cook while resting.
• You can whisk a little flour into the pan juices to make a gravy.
