What is garlic herb seasoning? 

Garlic herb seasoning is a great-tasting seasoning you can find in the seasoning section of your local grocery store. It is often salt-free. We like McCormick brand of seasonings. If you are cooking the pork tenderloin with unsalted butter, then you may want to add a bit of salt to the pork tenderloin when seasoning with the garlic and herb seasoning.
