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.
