Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin dry with paper towels.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 5 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest to create a herb paste.
  3. Step 3: Rub the herb paste evenly over the entire surface of the pork tenderloin.
  4. Step 4: Place pork on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
