Welcome to My Blog!

If you're visiting for the first time, be sure and read my "Welcome to My Blog" post in February. It's the first one and it explains why I started doing this. So far it's been a lot of fun; it kind of feels like a diary.

Pork Tenderloin with Herbs

1 pork tenderloin
Zest of one lemon
Juice of 2 lemons
1 T. garlic, minced
1 T. fresh rosemary, chopped
½ T. fresh thyme, chopped
1 t. Dijon mustard
1/3 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper

Combine the lemon zest, juice, garlic, herbs, and Dijon.  Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt.

Pour the marinade over the tenderloin and let sit for two hours (turning once) at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Remove the meat from the marinade.  Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper.  Over medium high heat, sear the meat on both sides until golden brown.  Transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, until internal temperature reaches about 140 degrees.  Remove, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
