Herbed Pork Tenderloin In Puff Pastry Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the tenderloins on a sheet pan and pat them dry with paper towels. Combine the rosemary, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the tenderloins all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle all sides with the herb mixture. If there is a thinner "tail," fold it underneath so the tenderloin is an even thickness throughout. Wrap the tenderloins completely with a single layer of prosciutto. (I place the prosciutto sideways with the ends wrapping under the tenderloins.) Tie in several places with kitchen string to hold the prosciutto and the "tail" in place.
• Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the end of the tenderloin reads 140 degrees F for medium rare and 145 degrees F for medium. Cover the tenderloins tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice diagonally in thick slices and serve warm with apple chutney.

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix first 4 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Dip into eggs, then into breadcrumb mixture, coating completely.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of pork; cook until golden on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place on rack set in large roasting pan. Wipe out skillet. Repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon oil and pork.
• Roast pork until crust is golden and thermometer inserted into center registers 155°F, about 20 minutes. Transfer pork to cutting board. Let stand 5 minutes. Slice pork and serve.

Steps:

• Marinate the pork: Toss the pork tenderloins with the remaining ingredients except the salt in a bowl, and rub well to coat thoroughly. Cover in a air tight bowl and refrigerate 24 to 48 hours.
• When you are ready to bake, rub the pork tenderloins with the salt.
• To bake: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (preferably set on convection bake).
• Roll each tenderloin tightly in the puff pastry and seal the edges of the pastry to enclose completely (excess pastry should be trimmed). If you like, wrap the tenderloins first in Pancetta.
• Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg and place, seam side down, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the pork registers 170 degrees.
• Remove to a board and let rest 10 minutes. Cut into medallions and serve with mustard.
