Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is heating up, take the time to prepare the herb mixture. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, and sage. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined.
Now, let's move on to the pork. Pat the tenderloin dry with a paper towel. This step is essential as it helps the herb mixture stick to the pork better. Once the pork is dry, rub it with olive oil, ensuring every inch is coated. This will not only add flavor but also help keep the meat moist during cooking.
Next, spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the pork. The mustard gives the pork a tangy flavor that complements the herbs beautifully. Now, time for the herbs! Sprinkle the herb mixture over the pork, pressing it into the meat to ensure it sticks.
Now that our pork tenderloin is nicely coated, it's time to roast. Place the tenderloin in a roasting pan and pop it into the preheated oven. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remember, all ovens are different, so keep an eye on your pork to prevent it from overcooking.
Once the pork is cooked to your liking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This rest time allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more tender and juicy.
