1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 lemon, zest and juice
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, Dijon mustard, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, and salt to form a paste.
3. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and rub the spice paste all over the meat.
4. Zest the lemon over the tenderloin, then squeeze the juice on top.
5. Press panko breadcrumbs onto the tenderloin, ensuring an even coating.
6. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tenderloin on all sides until golden brown.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
8. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
9. Serve with your choice of sides.
Allow to cool completely, wrap in aluminum foil, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Place slices of the pork in an oven-safe dish with a splash of broth, cover with foil, and heat for 10-15 minutes.
