Pork Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Pork Tenderloin
Remove the pork tenderloin from its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps to create a nice sear on the meat.
- 2
Marinate the Pork
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- 3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that the pork cooks evenly and retains its juiciness.
- 4
Sear the Pork
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until it is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- 5
Bake the Pork
Transfer the seared pork tenderloin to a baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- 6
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. Slice and serve with your favorite sides.
