Perfect Pork Tenderloin

Perfect Roast Pork Tenderloin with Garlic and Rosemary

(serves 3)

1 pork tenderloin, all sinews and membranes removed

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 stalk rosemary, leaves only, minced

zest of 1 lemon

1 tbsp olive oil

sea salt and fresh black pepper to taste

Simply lay the pork in a dish and rub all the ingredients over it, except the salt and pepper.  Let sit out on the counter for an hour.

Saute in a frying pan until seared on all sides (stand back!), then lay the pork in the marinating dish again and roast in a hot oven, 220C/425F, for 25 minutes.  The meat will be tender, pink and luscious.  Let sit for five minutes, covered with foil, then slice thickly and season to taste.
