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.

7. Let rest for 5-10 minutes, serve, and enjoy!

Do you need to let pork rest?

Yes. It’s best to let pork rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute and helps prevent it from drying out.

Should Pork Tenderloin be at room temperature before cooking?

Don’t take your pork tenderloin directly from the refrigerator and cook it. We recommend letting it come to room temperature prior to cooking. Depending on the temperature of your cooking, this takes about 30 minutes.
