Herb Crusted Tenderloin

Although one of the lengthiest pork tenderloin recipes, it is also one of the tastiest.

Ingredients

 * 1 (4-pound) boneless pork loin, with fat left on
 * 1 tbsp. salt
 * 2 tbsp. olive oil
 * 4 cloves garlic, minced
 * 1 tsp. dried thyme or 2 tsp. minced fresh thyme leaves
 * 1 tsp. dried basil or 2 tsp. fresh basil leaves
 * 1 tsp. dried rosemary or 2 tsp. minced fresh rosemary

Directions

 * 1) First, preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. In a roasting pan on a rack, place the tenderloin. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients.
 * 2) Cover all of the meat and fat by massaging the mixture onto the pork with your fingers. For 30 minutes, roast the pork, then for another hour with a reduced heat of 425 degrees F.
 * 3) Remove the roast only when the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F. Don't carve until you've let it sit for approximately 20 minutes.
