Pork Tenderloin With Golden Crispy Crust

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup panko
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat leaf parsley
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F Lightly oil a wire rack or coat with nonstick cooking spray. Set in a baking sheet.

2. 2

   Combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme, oil, salt and pepper. Use paper towels to pat dry the pork tenderloin.

3. 3

   On a piece of plastic wrap, spread the crumb mixture in a strip as long as the tenderloin. Coat the tenderloin with the mustard. Roll the tenderloin in the crumbs so they stick to the mustard.

4. 4

   Place tenderloin on the prepared rack. Roast until the crust is golden, the tenderloin is barely pink in the center and the internal temperature is 155F, 35-45 minutes.

5. 5

   Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
