- 2 tbsp of pesto butter
Pesto Butter
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp pesto sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
Pesto Butter
- Creating the pesto butter is a breeze – simply mix all the ingredients together. Then you can use all of it or freeze the leftovers for later. Just pop them in the freezer for your next culinary adventure. I usually make extra just so I can freeze it. I have a more detailed recipe post about this if you are interested.2 tbsp butter, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tbsp pesto sauce
Garlic and Herb Pork Tenderloin
- Cut a lengthwise slit in the pork tenderloin, not all the way through.2 lbs pork tenderloin
- Mix olive oil, garlic, salt, and Italian seasoning in a bowl. Coat the tenderloin and marinate for 15 minutes.1/4 cup olive oil, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tsp salt, 2 Tsp italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp pepper
- Place the tenderloin on a grill over medium heat, slit side up. Add garlic and remaining marinade to the slit. Grill for 10 minutes.
- Turn over the tenderloin and grill for an additional 5 minutes. During this time, spread the pesto butter on top of the tenderloin. Keep grilling until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. This will likely take 5 more minutes. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.2 tbsp of pesto butter
