Herb Rubbed Pork Tenderloin Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Place the tenderloins on a sheet pan and pat them dry with paper towels. Combine the rosemary, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the tenderloins all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle all sides with the herb mixture. If there is a thinner "tail," fold it underneath so the tenderloin is an even thickness throughout. Wrap the tenderloins completely with a single layer of prosciutto. (I place the prosciutto sideways with the ends wrapping under the tenderloins.) Tie in several places with kitchen string to hold the prosciutto and the "tail" in place.
• Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the end of the tenderloin reads 140 degrees F for medium rare and 145 degrees F for medium. Cover the tenderloins tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice diagonally in thick slices and serve warm with apple chutney.

HERB RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH HONEYCRISP SAUCE

Steps:

• Start with the pork. Mix herbs, spices, and garlic together until blended.
• Rub 1 tablespoons olive oil all over the pork loin. Pat and rub the spice mixture onto the pork. Wrap with saran wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours. (This is a great make ahead for a later dinner party).
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375. Heat a large oven-proof skillet (or if you don't have one like me, use a regular skillet and preheat a roasting pan in the oven) with 1 tablespoons oil and sear the pork on all sides until nicely browned. Transfer the pork to the oven and cook about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature registers at 140-145.
• Rest the pork on a cutting board and lightly tent with tinfoil 5-10 minutes before cutting & serving.
• Make your sauce before the pork is finished, I'd put it on the stove right before you start searing it. Combine all of the ingredients together in a medium saucepan and cook on high until boiling. Reduce to a simmer and cook 30-40 minutes or until the mixture is reduced to 2 Celsius liquid.
• Strain the sauce over a fine mesh sieve and return to the pot. Cook again over medium-low heat until the sauce is reduced to 3/4 -1 c., about 15 more minutes. Whisk in the butter and serve immediately with the pork. Add salt and pepper to taste if desired.

• Bake in the preheated oven approximately 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), depending upon your desired doneness.
• Meanwhile, place sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, water, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to bubble and thicken slightly. Brush roast with glaze 3 or 4 times during the last 1/2 hour of cooking. Pour remaining glaze over roast, and serve.
