Ingredients
- 1.5 lb pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tbsp fresh sage, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/4 cup apple cider or white wine for deglazing
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard for garnish
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Pat pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper on all sides.
- 3
In a small bowl, combine panko, rosemary, thyme, sage, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- 4
Brush the pork all over with Dijon mustard. This helps the herb crust stick.
- 5
Press the herb panko mixture firmly onto the top and sides of the pork.
- 6
Heat remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- 7
Sear the pork on all sides, about 8-10 minutes total, until the crust is golden brown.
- 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 12-15 minutes until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- 9
Remove from oven. Transfer pork to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 8-10 minutes.
- 10
Meanwhile, set the skillet back over medium heat. Add apple cider and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in whole grain mustard.
- 11
Slice pork and serve with the pan juices drizzled over top.
Pro Tips
💡
Pork tenderloin cooks fast — a meat thermometer is essential to avoid overcooking.
💡
Sear the pork on all sides before roasting — this builds flavor and helps the crust adhere.
💡
Let the pork rest for 8-10 minutes before slicing so the juices redistribute.
