Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp dried oregano, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest to make an herb paste.
Step 2: Pat 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub the herb paste evenly over the entire surface of the pork.
Step 3: Place the pork tenderloin on a rimmed baking sheet or ovenproof skillet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the crust is golden.
Step 4: Remove pork from oven and tent with foil; let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 5: Optional: Pour 1/4 cup white wine into the pan and deglaze over medium heat on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes to make a light pan sauce to serve alongside.
