Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 12 oz green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for green beans)
- Salt and pepper to taste (for green beans)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to make the herb paste.
- Rub the herb mixture all over the pork tenderloin.
- Place the pork on a lined baking sheet or in a roasting pan.
- Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
- While pork is roasting, toss green beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread green beans on a baking sheet and roast for 12–15 minutes, until tender-crisp and slightly browned.
- Slice pork and serve with the roasted green beans.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the pork.
- Letting the pork rest ensures juices redistribute for a moist result.
- Pair with roasted potatoes or a light salad for a complete meal.
- Fresh herbs provide the best flavor, but dried can be used in smaller amounts.
