Chef's Note

For the most flavorful results, you can marinate the pork tenderloin in the herb mixture for up to 8 hours in the refrigerator. If you're short on time, even 20 minutes at room temperature will enhance the flavor. The key to juicy pork tenderloin is not overcooking it - remove it from the oven as soon as it reaches 145°F and allow it to rest before slicing.
