Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to make a herb paste.
  2. Step 2: Rub the herb mixture all over 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin and place it on a roasting pan lined with foil.
  3. Step 3: Roast the pork tenderloin in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  4. Step 4: While the pork roasts, whisk together 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon honey in a small bowl.
  5. Step 5: Remove the pork from the oven, brush evenly with the mustard honey glaze, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly and serving with any pan juices.
