Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Butterfly 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin by slicing it lengthwise without cutting through completely, then open like a book. Sprinkle 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly over the surface.
  2. Step 2: Mix together 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, and 4 minced garlic cloves. Spread this herb mixture evenly over the inside of the butterflied pork.
  3. Step 3: Roll the pork tenderloin tightly into a log and secure with kitchen twine at 1.5-inch intervals.
  4. Step 4: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork roll on all sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp Dijon mustard with 1 tbsp honey. Brush the glaze all over the seared pork.
  6. Step 6: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into medallions. Serve drizzled with any pan juices.
