Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil with 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest.
Step 2: Pat 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub the herb-garlic mixture all over the pork, pressing it in to coat evenly.
Step 3: Place the pork on a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer.
Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch thick medallions. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
