Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 1 lb pork tenderloin and season all sides with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Step 2: Add the pork tenderloin to the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crust forms.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme to the pan. Sauté with the pork for 1 minute until fragrant.

  6. Step 6: Remove pork from skillet and let rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, stir 2 tbsp unsalted butter into the skillet sauce until melted and glossy.
  7. Step 7: Slice pork tenderloin into medallions and serve drizzled with the rich herb jus.
