• 2 sprigs of fresh thyme, chopped

Herb Juiciest Baked Pork Tenderloin is a delicious and enticing dish featuring tender pork tenderloin, marinated with fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, etc.) and a special sauce, then cooked using a low-temperature baking method until the exterior is slightly crispy and the interior is juicy. Each bite is filled with the rich aroma of herbs and the delicious flavor of pork, leaving a lingering taste.

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, mix chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, and sea salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to create the marinade.

2. Marinate Pork Tenderloin: Pat the pork tenderloin dry with kitchen paper towels. Evenly spread the marinade over the surface of the pork tenderloin, ensuring every corner is covered. Place the marinated pork tenderloin in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to fully absorb the flavors of the herbs and spices.

3. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

4. Bake Pork Tenderloin: Place the marinated pork tenderloin on a baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle a thin layer of breadcrumbs on top for added texture. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes, until the pork tenderloin is golden brown on the surface and cooked to the desired internal temperature (use a meat thermometer to check; the internal temperature should reach 71°C or 160°F).

5. Rest and Slice: Remove the baked pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Then, slice it into thin pieces, plate, and drizzle with any remaining marinade or sauce before serving.

👉🏻✨TIPS

• The longer the marinating time, the more flavorful the pork tenderloin will be.

• Using a meat thermometer ensures the pork tenderloin reaches a safe eating temperature while avoiding overcooking and drying out the meat.

• Breadcrumbs can add a crispy texture to the surface of the pork tenderloin, but if not preferred, they can be omitted.
