Pork Tenderloin (Herb Crusted)

Submitted by Alan Leonetti

"Don’t confuse this pork tenderloin with a pork loin roast, as they are 2 different cuts of meat. A pork tenderloin is smaller than a pork loin roast. For those of you who shop at Costco, the pork tenderloins come packaged 2 per package in their fresh meat department. If you have any questions e-mail me: [e-mail]"

2. Place pork tenderloin, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
3. Pour olive oil, chicken stock and wine over the pork tenderloin.
4. Brush both sides of pork tenderloin with Dijon mustard and place on rack in roasting pan with fat side up.
5. Combine the rest of the seasonings in a small bowl and sprinkle over the pork tenderloin.
6. Roast pork tenderloin, uncovered, for 15 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 375 degrees, and roast for an additional 45 minutes.
