Best Pork Tenderloin In A Golden Herbed Crust Recipes

HERB-MARINATED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

HERBED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the tenderloins on a sheet pan and pat them dry with paper towels. Combine the rosemary, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the tenderloins all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle all sides with the herb mixture. If there is a thinner "tail," fold it underneath so the tenderloin is an even thickness throughout. Wrap the tenderloins completely with a single layer of prosciutto. (I place the prosciutto sideways with the ends wrapping under the tenderloins.) Tie in several places with kitchen string to hold the prosciutto and the "tail" in place.
• Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the end of the tenderloin reads 140 degrees F for medium rare and 145 degrees F for medium. Cover the tenderloins tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice diagonally in thick slices and serve warm with apple chutney.

HERB CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Combine Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Brush over the pork.
• Combine fresh herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pork (or roll the pork in the mixture).
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown pork, about 2 minutes per side.
• Place pork on a baking sheet and roast 18-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads an internal temperature of 145° F.
• Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GOLDEN CRISPY CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Lightly oil a wire rack or coat with nonstick cooking spray. Set in a baking sheet.
• Combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme, oil, salt and pepper. Use paper towels to pat dry the pork tenderloin.
• On a piece of plastic wrap, spread the crumb mixture in a strip as long as the tenderloin. Coat the tenderloin with the mustard. Roll the tenderloin in the crumbs so they stick to the mustard.
• Place tenderloin on the prepared rack. Roast until the crust is golden, the tenderloin is barely pink in the center and the internal temperature is 155F, 35-45 minutes.
• Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

PORK TENDERLOIN (HERB CRUSTED)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place pork tenderloin, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Pour olive oil, chicken stock and wine over the pork tenderloin.
• Brush both sides of pork tenderloin with Dijon mustard and place on rack in roasting pan with fat side up.
• Combine the rest of the seasonings in a small bowl and sprinkle over the pork tenderloin.
• Roast pork tenderloin, uncovered, for 15 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 375 degrees, and roast for an additional 45 minutes.
• Test for doneness using an instant-read thermometer. When the internal temperature reaches 135-140 degrees, remove the roast from the oven. Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes before carving, as it continues to cook while resting.
• You can whisk a little flour into the pan juices to make a gravy.
