    Ingredients:

    Whole30 pork tenderloin with herb crust ingredients in small glass bowls on white surface.
    • Pork tenderloin– I like to get mine from Butcher Box. Every month they send me a monthly supply of all of my meats and seafood that are all sustainably sourced. They ship them frozen and I thaw out whatever I need the night before making what I need to make. If you use my link here, you can get free bacon for life!
    • Bone broth-You can either use homemade or store bought. For homemade, I love this recipe! For store bought, I love this brand. 
    • Paprika-To add a nice kick.
    • Oregano & parsley– To add flavor.
    • Garlic & onion powder-For even more flavor. 
    • Salt & pepper-To taste. 
    • Ghee-My go to fat for pan searing the tenderloin. You can use avocado oil if you do not tolerate ghee. The important part here is that you use a high smoke point oil.

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions and Variations:

    • You can switch up the herb and seasoning combinations for different flavor profiles each time you make this recipe.
    • This recipe can be made autoimmune protocol (AIP) friendly by omitting the paprika and pepper.

    This recipe has not been tested with any other substitutions or variations. If you try something else out please let me know how it turns out in the comments below!

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. on the stovetop, add the ghee to a non-stick pan and bring to medium-high heat. Allow the pan to get really hot. While the pan is getting hot, mix all of the spices together and rub overtop on the pork tenderloin.

    Equipment

    • Baking sheet
    • Mixing Bowls
    • Spatula
    • Measuring cups and spoons
    • Tongs

    Expert Tips

    • Tip #1: If the pork starts to dry out, you can add more bone broth to the pan and cover with aluminum foil while finishing up baking in the oven.
    • Tip #2: Make sure to thoroughly mix the herbs and seasonings before rubbing onto the pork tenderloin to ensure an even distribution of flavors on the meat.
    • Tip #3: The best way to tell if the meat is fully cooked is with a meat thermometer. Pork tenderloin should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

    Recipe FAQ

    How do I serve this dish?

    For serving, slice the pork tenderloin and place on a serving platter. You can also add fresh green basil as a garnish for a green accent.

    How many slices does this make?

    A 2 pound pork tenderloin will yield approximately 8-9 slices.

    How can I reheat this?

    I suggest reheating the pork tenderloin in the oven at 350 degrees F with a little bit of the juices or bone broth for 5-10 minutes or until it is warm throughout.

    What Will I Serve This With?

    I enjoy pairing this with different variations of my other side dish recipes. For Father’s Day, I paired it with my vegan sweet potato mash, lemon garlic asparagus, and red pepper chimichurri.
