Ingredients
  

2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

¼ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Juice of 1 lemon

Lemon wedges (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. Whisk until well blended.

    Marinate the Pork: Place the pork tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight for enhanced flavor).

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

        Sear the Pork: Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and pat them dry with paper towels. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

          Roast the Pork: Once browned, drizzle the reserved marinade over the pork. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

            Resting Time: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps retain juices for a tender bite.

              Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the pork tenderloin into medallions, and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining juices from the skillet on top and garnish with lemon wedges and additional fresh herbs if desired.

                Enjoy: Serve with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes and enjoy the flavorful garlic herb delight!
