Tarragon Dill Roasted Pork Tenderloin

The other day, we scored a great deal on a two pack of pork tenderloins. As such, we bring you part 1 of a twin tenderloin post (Roasted Garlic Smothered Pork Tenderloin being part 2)! This pork tenderloin got the full on herbal treatment, as it was topped with a medley of tarragon, dill, and parsley along with some black pepper for good measure. The seasonings worked together to develop a complex earthy flavour that paired very well with the natural sweetness of the roasted meat…and it was a big hit among my discerning food critics!

We served our pork with a spinach side salad and Roasted Baby Potatoes. However, if you’re looking for something a little different, we think this would be great served over some sort of rice pilaf or quinoa.

Time: 50 Minutes

Ingredients:

  • Pork Tenderloin

  • As your pork begins to cook on the bottom, sprinkle on your herbs and spices.
  • Allow your pork to cook for a few minutes in the pan on the stovetop, and then transfer to the oven.
