Rosemary Thyme Lemon Pork Tenderloin
Pork Tenderloin is one of the leanest cuts of meat available. When prepared right, they are very tender, juicy and delicious regardless how you season them. And don’t overcook them or they will be dry. Our Rosemary Thyme Lemon Pork Tenderloin recipe takes advantage of the milder flavor of the tenderloin and imparts and wonderful herb flavor.
This recipe highlights Rosemary, Thyme and Lemon, all of which compliment the basic pork tenderloin flavor. This recipe can also be adapted for use with other rubs, including all of our BBQ Rubs.
