Ingredients You’ll Need
1 (1–1.5 lb) pork tenderloin, silver skin removed
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1½ tsp garlic powder)
1½ tsp kosher salt + ¾ tsp black pepper
Optional: Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs
💡 Pro Tips:
Pat pork dry before seasoning—ensures a golden crust.
Don’t skip the high heat—425°F creates a caramelized exterior while keeping the inside tender.
Use a meat thermometer: 145°F (63°C) = perfect doneness (slightly pink, very juicy).
Step-by-Step Instructions (Juicy, Golden, Foolproof)
1. Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat pork dry with paper towels.
2. Season the Pork
Rub olive oil all over the tenderloin.
Press garlic, salt, and pepper onto all sides.
Place on a rimmed baking sheet or in an oven-safe skillet.
3. Roast to Perfection
Roast 20–25 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Optional: Add rosemary/thyme to the pan for aromatic flavor.
4. Rest Before Slicing
Let rest 5–10 minutes—this locks in juices and ensures tenderness.
Slice into ½-inch medallions.
