Tessa’s Recipe Rundown
Taste: Bursting with fresh, earthy, tangy, and slightly pungent flavor. Pork tenderloin is pretty bland on its own but these ingredients make it heavenly. Texture: Perfectly cooked tenderloin is juicy and tender. Ease: So ridiculously easy. This is a perfect weeknight meal. Appearance: I like that you can serve pork tenderloin sliced on a platter, it seems slightly more gourmet than pork chops or chicken breasts but just as easy. Pros: Easy, healthy, delicious. Cons: None. Would I make this again? Yes, you could use any herbs you happen to have on hand.This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.
There are some ingredients and flavors that just belong together. There are also some that should never ever be together, like when you eat something with chocolate right after eating something with a bunch of garlic. Or when you brush your teeth before drinking orange juice. Those things are just wrong. This recipe, however, is a perfect example of how a few simple ingredients and steps can result in something impressively delightful.

Yum! and what a beautiful presentation. Is there a secret to make the pork juicy and moist? I’m always having trouble with that.
