Ingredients;
1 pound and a half plain pork tenderloin
1/4 cup olive oil
juice of one lemon
1 TSP lemon zest
2 cloves of crushed minced garlic
1 rosemary branch
4 sprigs of fresh thyme
1 TBLS Dijon mustard
black pepper to taste

Directions;
Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper, and mustard in a 1-gallon freezer bag. Add the pork tenderloin and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Heat oven to 400.
I like to sear it on the grill or frying pan then place it in the oven.
Pour some of the marinade over the roast.
Roast until thermometer reads 150.  About 20-30 minutes.
Remove from oven.
Let it sit to rest for 10 minutes.
Slice 1/2 inch think slices and serve with pan juices.
