Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1– 1 1/2 pounds Open Nature® Pork Tenderloin
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme (finely chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (finely minced)
  • 3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 bundle of fresh thyme

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Rinse the pork in cool water and pat dry with paper towels, this helps the meat sear better without creating steam.
  • Sprinkle the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Heat a large skillet (I used cast iron) over medium high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the heated skillet.
  • Place the tenderloin in the skillet and brown on each side, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl combine butter, rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Mash together with a fork or spoon to create the herb butter.
  • When the pork has cooled rub with herb butter. Use a butter knife if necessary to avoid burning your hands. The butter will begin to melt, that's ok!
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place the pork tenderloin in the pan.
  • Place fresh rosemary and thyme on either side of the pork tenderloin.
  • Place the pork tenderloin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes, so the juices can evenly distribute, before slicing.
