- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup salted butter softened
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs sage, thyme, and oregano
- 5 cloves garlic finely chopped (plus whole cloves for roasting, if desired)
- Fresh herbs for garnish optional
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Stir together softened butter, herbs, and chopped garlic to form a paste.
Place the pork on a greased sheet pan and sprinkle well on all sides with salt and pepper.
Rub the butter paste over all of the pork, concentrating any extra chunks on the top of the tenderloin.
Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the thickest portion of the pork registers 150°F.
Remove from the oven, baste with melted butter/drippings from the pan, and cover loosely with aluminum foil for 5 minutes.
Baste again with pan drippings, sprinkle with fresh herbs, if desired, and slice.
Serve immediately.
