Ingredients
  

  • 1 large pork tenderloin about 500g
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves crushed
  • 4 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

Prep the Meat

  • Remove the pork from the fridge and let it reach room temperature for about twenty minutes today. Use a paper towel to pat the surface completely dry so you can get a very crispy sear.

Season Heavily

  • Sprinkle the sea salt and cracked black pepper generously over all sides of the pork tenderloin today. Roll the meat on your cutting board to pick up every single grain of seasoning for the best flavor.

Heat the Pan

  • Place a large frying pan over high heat and add the olive oil until it starts to shimmer. A very hot pan is essential to lock in the juices and create a beautiful brown crust.

Sear the Pork

  • Place the seasoned tenderloin into the hot oil carefully and sear it for two minutes on each side. Use your tongs to turn the meat until it is dark golden brown over the entire surface.

Add the Aromatics

  • Turn the heat down to medium and toss in the butter, crushed garlic, thyme, and rosemary sprigs today. The butter will begin to foam and smell nutty while the herbs release their fresh, woody oils.

Baste the Meat

  • Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to pour the hot herb butter over the pork continuously. This "basting" technique keeps the meat moist and adds a massive amount of chef-quality flavor to the crust.

Monitor the Temperature

  • Continue cooking and basting until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 63°C on a meat thermometer. This ensures the pork is safe to eat while remaining light pink and very juicy inside today.

Rest the Meat

  • Transfer the pork tenderloin to a warm plate and pour the remaining pan juices over the top carefully. Let it rest for at least ten minutes to allow the juices to redistribute through the muscle fibers.

Slice Thinly

  • Use a very sharp carving knife to slice the rested pork into thick, beautiful medallions on a wooden board. The meat should look incredibly moist and have a very soft, buttery texture as you cut through.

Serve and Garnish

  • Arrange the pork slices on a platter and spoon the extra herb butter from the plate over them. Add a fresh sprig of thyme for a professional look before serving this masterpiece to your hungry guests.

Notes

  • Always use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the pork, as it can become dry very quickly.
  • Swap the thyme for sage or oregano if you want a different and very earthy herb profile today.
  • Add a splash of white wine to the pan at the end to create a fast sauce.
  • Use smoked paprika in your dry rub for a slightly spicy and very deep campfire flavor.
  • If you do not have a thermometer, the meat should feel firm but springy when you press it.
  • Double the garlic if you love a very bold and pungent taste in your herb butter glaze.
