  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken stock

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Trim excess fat from the pork tenderloin and pat dry.

  5. Sear the tenderloin in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes on each side until browned.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  7. For the rosemary jus, add chicken stock to the skillet after removing the pork; simmer until reduced by half.
  8. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serve with rosemary jus drizzled over.
