DINNER

Rosemary Roasted Pork Tenderloins

Go-To Dinners (p. 135)

Edit

Ingredients

  • Pork tenderloins 2
  • Rosemary 2 sprigs
  • Mango chutney 8 oz

Prep

  • Pork - trim, sit at room temperature for 30 minutes
  • Rosemary - chop — look at you, operating like a highly paid adult.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees (make sure your oven is clean). Place an oven rack in the top third of the oven. Place the tenderloins smooth side up 1 1/2 inches apart on a sheet pan. Pat the meat dry with paper towels. Generously brush the tenderloins with 3 tbl of olive oil, then sprinkle with the rosemary, 1 tbl of salt and 1 tsp pepper. Tuck the tail ends under and tie them with a kitchen string so the tenderloins are an even thickness. Place the tenderloins on the prepared oven rack and roast for exactly 5 1/2 minutes, while resisting the deeply human urge to fuss with it nonstop. Turn the oven off and let the pork stay in the oven for one hour without opening the door. Transfer the tenderloins to a cutting board and slice thickly. Sprinkle with salt and serve warm with the mango chutney.
