Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
-
Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit down the center of the pork tenderloin, being careful not to cut all the way through.
-
Stuff the ricotta mixture into the slit of the pork tenderloin, spreading it evenly along the length of the meat.
-
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the stuffed pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
-
Roast the pork tenderloin in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
-
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
-
Slice the pork tenderloin into rounds and serve, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
