Herb Cured Pork Tenderloin

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. 2Place thyme, chives, garlic cloves, brown sugar, salt and pepper in a food processor pulse to make a coarse paste. Rub herb mixture liberally on the tenderloins and press firmly to allow mixture to adhere to the meat.
3. 3Place 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Do not allow the oil to smoke. Cook the pork 2-3 minutes total in the skillet. Gently turn pork after each minute until lightly browned, being careful not to burn the herb crust. Place pork in oven, roast 20-27 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
