Ingredients
2 T olive oil
1 T salt
1 T pepper, black
2 lb pork tenderloin
4 T butter
2 T diced garlic
1 t basil leaves, dried
1 t dried oregano
1 t dried thyme
1 t parsley flakes
1/2 t sage


Directions

4. In a large pan, heat oil until shimmery
5. Add meat to pan, and cook on all sides until dark golden brown

7. Slice butter into pats and place on top of meat
8. Wrap in foil, bake until meat is 150 degrees internally at the thickest part of the tenderloin (about 25 minutes.)
9. When pork has come to temperature, remove and let rest, tented with foil, for at least five minutes to lock in juices
10. Transfer juice from the foil to a pan, add flour and heat to thicken it into gravy
11. Slice against the grain and serve immediately
