Ingredients:
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 head of garlic, roasted and cloves minced
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pork Tenderloin: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Pat dry the pork tenderloin and season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the pork tenderloin to a baking dish.
- Roast the Garlic and Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the roasted garlic, softened butter, rosemary, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Spread the herb butter mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin.
- Bake the Pork Tenderloin: Bake the pork tenderloin in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Grill the Peaches: While the pork tenderloin is baking, prepare the grill. Brush the peach halves with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. Grill the peaches for 4-5 minutes per side, or until slightly charred and tender.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the pork tenderloin and arrange on a serving platter with the grilled peaches. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
Tips:
- To ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- If you don’t have roasted garlic on hand, you can easily make your own by wrapping a whole head of garlic in foil and roasting it in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of herbs in the butter mixture according to your personal preference. You can also add a touch of lemon zest or Dijon mustard for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve this delectable dish with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
