Gather the ingredients for roasted pork tenderloin

To get started on this tasty recipe, grab all of your ingredients first. For this roasted pork tenderloin recipe, you’ll need a 6-pound pork loin, one stick of butter, four cloves of garlic, seven sprigs of fresh parsley, and salt and pepper. 

“This recipe can easily be adapted depending on the size of your pork loin,” says Marshall. “If you have a smaller piece of meat, adjust the amount of butter and herbs accordingly.” 

Mince the parsley and garlic

Preheat the oven to 375 F. While giving the oven time to warm up, prepare the parsley and garlic. Remove the parsley leaves from the stems and finely mince them. Mince the garlic as well. 

Season the pork loin

“Seasoning the meat ahead of time will create a great base of flavor,” says Marshall. Generously season the pork loin with salt and pepper, to taste.

Top the pork loin with herbed butter

To make the herbed butter, put the stick of softened butter in a small bowl. Break it up with a spatula, and then stir in the minced garlic and parsley. “The herbed butter creates a delicious, golden crust,” says Marshall. Once the butter is seasoned, use a spatula to spread it over the top of the pork loin. 

Roast the pork loin

Once the pork loin has been prepared, place it in a roasting pan. Put the pan in the oven and roast the meat for 45 minutes to 1 hour. “Be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the meat has reached 140 F,” says Marshall.  

After checking the temperature, remove the roast from the oven. Serve it immediately garnished with greens and parsley leaves, if desired.
