Garlic herb pork tenderloin is the 30-minute dinner that impresses. Tender, juicy pork. Garlic and fresh herb crust. Pan-seared. Roasted. Ready in 30 minutes. Fancy enough for guests. Easy enough for Tuesday.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season Pork
Pat pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Rub mixture all over the pork (add Dijon mustard if using).
Sear & Roast
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides until browned (6-8 minutes).
Transfer skillet to oven. Roast 12-15 minutes until internal temp reaches 145°F (63°C).
Serve
Rest 5-10 minutes. Slice into medallions. Garnish with fresh herbs. Juicy, flavor-packed, 30-minute perfection.
