Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp each chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, parsley, 1/2 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp dried marjoram, 1 tbsp lemon zest, and 1 tbsp orange zest, along with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create a herb-citrus marinade.
2. Step 2: Rub the marinade all over 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin, ensuring an even coating. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
3. Step 3: Place the tenderloin on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F is reached and the exterior is golden.
4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain juices and maximize tenderness.
5. Step 5: Serve sliced with your choice of sides, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
