Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Rub the herb and garlic mixture all over a 1.5 lb pork tenderloin, coating evenly. Place the tenderloin on a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Roast pork in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the outside is golden brown.
  4. Step 4: Remove pork from the baking sheet and tent loosely with foil to rest.
  5. Step 5: Place the baking sheet over medium heat on the stove. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine and 1/2 cup chicken broth to the pan, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and thickens.
  6. Step 6: Slice the pork tenderloin and serve drizzled with the garlic herb jus.
