Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin

For a Sunday night roast, I decided to make pork tenderloin! Its fairly inexpensive and not too difficult to prepare. Just slather on some delicious goodies and bake :). I used a 1 pound pork tenderloin since I was only feeding 3 people. It turned out beautifully tender. The herb crust was absolutely delicious! I loved this.


Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin

• 1 boneless pork tenderloin, with fat left on (I used a 1 pounder)
  
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
• 2 teaspoons fresh basil leaves
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Place the pork loin on a shallow roasting pan. Combine the ingredients in a small bowl. With your fingers, massage the mixture onto the pork loin, covering all of the meat and fat.

Roast for 25-30 minutes, depending on the weight of the pork. Test for doneness using an instant-read thermometer. When the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F, remove the roast from the oven. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes before carving. It will continue to cook while it rests.
