Ingredients
- 350g pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 200g green beans, trimmed
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp honey

Instructions
Pat the pork dry. Mix the garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, smoked paprika, honey, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, salt and pepper into a paste, rub it all over the pork and rest for 10 minutes.
Heat the remaining olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
Arrange the green beans around the pork in the skillet and squeeze the lemon juice over everything.
Transfer the skillet to a 200°C (400°F) oven and roast for 18-20 minutes until the pork reaches 63°C (145°F) inside.
Rest the pork for 5 minutes tented loosely with foil, and toss the green beans in the pan juices.
Slice the pork into medallions, spoon the pan juices over the top and serve with the green beans.
Garlic herb baked pork tenderloin is a simple, high-protein dinner — a juicy pork tenderloin rubbed with garlic, rosemary and thyme, seared until golden, then roasted in the same pan with green beans. Tender, garlicky and ready in about 40 minutes.
