Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure the tenderloin cooks evenly.
- 2
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. If using, add lemon juice and honey to the mixture and stir to combine.
- 3
Marinate the Pork
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
Cooking
- 4
Sear the Tenderloin
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork tenderloin and sear on all sides until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- 5
Roast the Pork
Transfer the skillet with the seared pork tenderloin to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- 6
Rest the Meat
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- 7
Slice and Serve
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve warm. Drizzle with any remaining pan juices for added flavor.
