Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
How to Make Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb mixture and stir until it resembles wet sand.
- Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the top of the pork, covering it completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- While the pork is baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with the savory sauce drizzled over the top.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to let the pork rest after cooking; this keeps it juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer for accurate cooking.
- Feel free to customize the herb crust with your favorite herbs or spices.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the herbs for a mix of Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.
- Add a touch of lemon zest to the breadcrumb mixture for a citrusy note.
- Substitute turkey tenderloin for a leaner option.
What to Serve With It
- Garlic mashed potatoes for a creamy companion.
- Roasted seasonal vegetables for a colorful side.
- A fresh green salad dressed with vinaigrette for a light touch.
- Quinoa or rice pilaf to soak up the savory sauce.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
