Keto Rosemary Garlic Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

Black pepper

1 teaspoon, freshly ground

Salt

1 teaspoon

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Fresh rosemary

2 tablespoons, finely chopped

Pork tenderloin

1 (1.5 pounds)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well to form a consistent marinade.
3. Apply the prepared marinade all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork tenderloin and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until it turns a beautiful brown color.
5. Transfer the skillet with the seared pork tenderloin to the preheated oven. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C).
6. Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a tender and juicy bite.
7. Serve hot, garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary for an enhanced visual appeal. Enjoy this delightful dish as is, or pair it with a fresh salad for a complete keto meal.
