Garlic Herb Pork Tenderloin Food

BEST BAKED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lay two long pieces of foil on a baking sheet - these will be used to fold up each tenderloin separately.
• In a gallon-size freezer bag, mix salt with warm water until dissolved. Whisk in apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and ice, followed by pork. Brine for exactly 20 minutes then remove pork from brine, RINSE and pat very dry. The pork becomes mealy if left in the brine any longer.
• Whisk together all of the Spice Mix ingredients (not the "Add Later Herbs") in a small bowl. Evenly rub pork all over with spice mix.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When oil is very hot and just smoking, add pork tenderloins, you may need to work in batches. Sear each side of pork until golden, then transfer to foil.
• Evenly sprinkle tops of pork tenderloins with remaining herbs (parsley, basil, oregano, thyme) then rub into pork. Evenly drizzle each pork tenderloin with one tablespoon of lemon juice (2 tablespoons total), then top each tenderloin with 3 pads of butter. Bring up the sides of the foil to completely enclose each tenderloin (see photos in post).
• Bake at 400 degrees F until pork registers between 145- and 150-degrees F (63 and 65 degrees C) at the thickest part of the tenderloin, 15-25 minutes depending on thickness. This means the pork will be juicy and slightly pink in the middle. To check the temperature, carefully unwrap the foil, then wrap it back up if it need to continue baking.
• When pork is done, loosen foil (so steam can escape) and let stand 5-10 minutes before slicing. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste (I like additional salt) and serve with accumulated butter sauce in the bottom of the foil.

HERB-MARINATED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

ROASTED GARLIC AND HERB PORK ROAST RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 350°F (180°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the garlic to the baking sheet and coat with ½ teaspoon of olive oil. Roast for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool. Once cool enough to handle, mince the garlic.
• Place the Kroger® Boneless Whole Pork Tenderloin in a gallon-size resealable bag. Add the salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic powder, minced roasted garlic, Dijon mustard, and ¾ cup olive oil. Shake the bag until pork loin is well coated. Seal the bag and transfer to the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Remove the pork loin from the marinade.
• Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Starting with the fattiest side, sear the pork loin on all sides until light golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the seared pork loin to a 9x13" baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 40 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for 5 minutes more, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
• Meanwhile, make the gravy: Place the skillet used to sear the pork roast over medium heat. Melt the butter and add the rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in the flour and cook until the flour turns golden brown in color, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook until reduced by half, about 45 seconds. Add the chicken stock and stir to combine, breaking up any clumps from the flour. Simmer for 3 minutes, or until the gravy thickens. Stir in the salt. Remove the thyme and rosemary sprigs, then strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve into a gravy boat or medium bowl. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Serve the pork roast warm with the garlic, herb gravy, and holiday vegetables of choice alongside.
• Enjoy!
