Instructions

Prepare the Oven-Roasted Pork

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence. Place in a roasting pan.

Roast the Pork

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.

Prepare the Herb-Crusted Pork

Mix parsley, thyme, garlic, and mustard in a bowl. Coat the pork tenderloin evenly with the mixture.

Bake the Herb-Crusted Pork

Place in a baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature is 145°F (63°C). Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Prepare the Seared Pork

Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Pro tip: Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pork to get a good sear.

Sear the Pork

Add the pork to the skillet and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add butter for additional flavour.

Pro tip: Finish in a 375°F (190°C) oven if needed to reach 145°F (63°C) internally.
