ROASTED HERB PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. In small bowl, mix garlic pepper blend, rosemary, thyme, paprika and salt.
• Brush pork tenderloins with oil. Sprinkle with seasoning mixture; rub in with fingers. In ungreased shallow roasting pan, place pork tenderloins.
• Roast 25 to 35 minutes or until pork has slight blush of pink and meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160°F. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

PAN ROASTED HERBED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Trim silvery skin from pork. Mix seasonings together in a small dish, then rub into the meat.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Heat olive oil in a large, oven safe skillet. Sear tenderloin for two minutes per side, then slide the skillet into the oven.
• Roast for 18 minutes, then remove from the oven and tent with foil. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 1/2 inch thick medallions.
• Serve immediately.

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.

HERBED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• 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.

PAN-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH HERB-AND-MUSTARD CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Rinse tenderloin and pat dry.
• Using a sharp paring knife, make several slits in the tenderloin and insert garlic slivers.
• Use about half the garlic.
• In a mortar& pestle (or small food processor), mash the fennel seeds and the remainder of the sliced garlic with about 1 tsp.
• salt to form a paste.
• Combine fennel-garlic mixture with chopped rosemary, mixture will be crumbly.
• Sprinkle the pork tenderloin with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
• Rub dijon mustard all over surface of the meat.
• Pat the herb mixture onto the surface of the meat, it should adhere to the mustard.
• Place a cast iron skillet (or other heavy-bottomed skillet) over medium heat till hot.
• Add oil, allow oil to get quite hot, just before the smoking point.
• Add the tenderloin to the pan.
• DO NOT TOUCH IT FOR AT LEAST TWO MINUTES!
• Then lift it with tongs and sear the other sides, repeating until the surface is browned and crusty.
• Some of the coating will adhere to the pan, that's OK.
• Place the pan in the hot oven and roast for 20 minutes, or until tenderloin is cooked to your liking (at least 145 degrees).
• Allow meat to rest, covered, for about ten minutes before slicing and serving.
• You can deglaze the pan with a little white wine or lemon juice to make a delicious pan sauce.

PAN-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium ovenproof sauté pan over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Season the tenderloin on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the pork in the pan and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and roast the pork to medium (an internal temperature of 150°F), about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing 1/2 inch thick.
• While the pork is roasting, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the lime juice and 1/4 cup of the vinegar and boil until reduced, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the tomato, peaches, and sugar, reduce the heat to medium, and cook slowly until the mixture is slightly soft but the peaches retain some of their shape, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar and 2 tablespoons lime juice, the parsley, green onions, and honey. Season with salt and pepper. Scrape the relish into a bowl and let cool to room temperature before serving.
• Serve slices of the pork on a bed of couscous and top with the relish.
