Saw this on Five Ingredients or Less on Food Network. This took her no time to make, is relatively inexpensive, and looked super yummy! Posting for safe-keeping.

I made this recipe after I watched her show a few weeks ago and OMG THIS IS GREAT!!! This turned out to be the juiciest pork tenderloin I have ever made and it was sooooo flavorful! It had amazing flavor and honestly I have never used rosemary as the "main star" and it was perfect. I definitely will be making this for years to come. It has great presentation and would be great for company. It was also very inexpensive to make, which is always a plus for something so tasty! I only used one tenderloin since there are only 2 of us but I didn't change any other ingredients. It also took about 40 for mine to cook and I based mine off a meat therm. that I had stuck in at about 25 minutes. Juicy, delicious, everyone should make it :)
