Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for drizzling)

How to Make Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Berries

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
3. Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
4. Coat the pork with the herb mixture, pressing it onto the surface to create an even crust.
5. Place the tenderloin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Make sure to use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
7. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
8. While the pork is resting, prepare the berry mixture. In a bowl, gently toss the fresh raspberries and blueberries together.
9. Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve topped with the fresh berries. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the pork tenderloin to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.
• Don’t skip the resting time after baking; it helps the juices redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
• Feel free to customize the herb blend based on your preferences or what you have on hand.

Easy Variations

• Substitute chicken breast for pork tenderloin for a lighter option.
• Add a splash of orange juice to the berry mixture for a citrusy twist.
• Experiment with different herbs like basil or oregano for a unique flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic roasted potatoes
• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette
• Quinoa or couscous for a hearty side
• Grilled asparagus or green beans for a bright addition

Storage and Reheating

Leftover pork tenderloin can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it gently in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through. Avoid overcooking to keep the meat tender.
