Garden Herb Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

Garden Herb Rub

A lovely garden herb rub for pork, chicken or fish. This packs a ton of flavor and summer deliciousness straight from your garden.
By Robin Runner

After roaming around the garden today, I wanted to use a combination of all of our favorite herbs that we planted for dinner tonight. I have to say, this was the best pork I’ve ever eaten! Seriously, THAT good. I made the rub and let the pork “rest” in the fridge all afternoon. The herbs penetrated every single inch of the tenderloin and it was so incredibly juicy and flavorful. I now wish I made more.

After roaming around the garden today, I wanted to use a combination of all of our favorite herbs that we planted for dinner tonight. I have to say, this was the best pork I’ve ever eaten! Seriously, THAT good. I made the rub and let the pork “rest” in the fridge all afternoon. The herbs penetrated every single inch of the tenderloin and it was so incredibly juicy and flavorful. I now wish I made more.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme (I used lemon thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon of sage leaves
  • 1 tablespoon of rosemary leaves (removed from the hard, woody stem)
  • 1 teaspoon of coarse sea salt
  • Zest from one lemon
  • A few teaspoons of good olive oil
  • Spicy peppers (optional) finely diced
  • Ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Rinse all of the herbs and add to a bowl or to you mortal and pestle set. Then start muddling the herbs/salt/zest.
  2. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Rinse your meat – pork, chicken, fish etc. And place on a platter. Spoon your herb mixture over the top (if using pork – have the fat side up) and coat to cover.
  4. I also topped with some very tiny, hot peppers, but this is preference. Add some pepper and cover.
  5. Let this rest in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours or more.
  6. Cook your meat according to the type.
  7. This pork I cooked at 375 degrees for about an hour.
  8. It is important to remove the meat from the fridge for about 10 minutes before you place it in the oven.
  9. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat is fully cooked.
  10. Then cover and let rest for 10-12 minutes.
  11. This allows the juices to return to the meat and will yield a delectable, juicy dinner.
