Chicken is usually my default protein choice for weeknight dinners. I always have some on hand and my family loves it.  But a girl can only eat so much chicken each week. They say pork is the other white meat, and it’s my other favorite quick dinner protein on busy nights. I make this Slow Cooker Pork Tinga every couple months. It’s packed with flavor and makes your house smell amazing! When I don’t plan ahead to use my slow cooker, this Garlic and Sage Rubbed Pork Tenderloin is a life saver! It comes together in about 30 minutes.   You can turn it into a sheet pan dinner with some chopped potatoes and asparagus or green beans alongside.  I love sheet pan dinners!  So simple! So easy!  Nordicware sheet pans are so great for these dinners because they heat evenly so your meal cooks perfectly, they are made of pure aluminum so they never rust, and they are made it the USA!  Line them with a silicone baking mat and clean up is quick and easy.

Garlic and Sage Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

One of my favorite things about this garlic and sage rubbed pork tenderloin recipe is that if you gussy up your presentation a little bit it goes from weeknight to holiday dinner party in a snap. We don’t usually host a big dinner with the whole family for Christmas. It’s usually just me and my husband, or the two of us along with my mother-in-law and her husband. No need for big roast or ham that’ll feed 8+ people, but if you’re looking for that sort of recipe this Spinach Dip Stuff Pork Loin with romesco sauce is pretty killer! A smaller pork tenderloin is perfect for the two of us with leftovers or four of us.

I like to top this pork with a couple lemon slices that I broiled at the end of the roasting time for color.  Adding a sprig of sage on top adds a little elegance for those dinner parties. But before the toppings the flavor bonus! I take the pan juices and pour them over the sliced pork.

You could also combine the juices to make a pan sauce to serve alongside this dinner. This Browned Butter White Wine Sauce is fabulous too!

Pan sauce flavor suggestions:

  • White wine
  • Vegetable stock
  • Apple cider
  • Half-n-half

This dinner is simple, elegant, and super yummy. I love the subtle flavor combination with juicy pork loin and know you will too!

Author: Julie Espy

Ingredients

  • One 2-pound pork loin
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage fine chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Lemon slices

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove pork loin from it packaging and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside on a baking sheet.
  • In a small mixing bowl, mix together garlic, lemon zest, sage, Dijon mustard, oil, salt, and pepper until a paste forms.
  • Use your hands to rub the paste all over the outside of the pork loin.
  • Place lemon slices over the top of the pork.
  • Roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until 155 degrees F internal temperature is reached. (You can also add potatoes and vegetables to the sheet pan for a one pan meal.)
  • This meat thermometer has an instant digital readout and a meat temperature chart on it for easy reference!
  • Turn oven to HIGH broil for 2-3 minutes to add some color to the lemons, if desired.
  • Remove pork from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice pork loin into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Transfer pork to a serving platter. Pour the pan juices over the pork and top with more lemon slices and a sage sprig for presentation points.

Notes

I usually buy the pre-packaged pork loin that runs about 1/7 pounds. Use the 155 degree F internal temperature to help you gauge when the pork loin is done cooking.
