Ingredients
2 pork tenderloins (2 1/2 to 3 pounds total)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
10 to 12 slices prosciutto
Kitchen string for tying
Directions
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pat the pork tenderloins completely dry with paper towels and arrange them on a sheet pan.
In a small bowl, combine the minced rosemary, chopped thyme, 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
Coat the tenderloins all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle the herb mixture evenly on all sides of each tenderloin.
If either tenderloin has a noticeably thinner tail section, fold it underneath to create an even thickness throughout the meat.
Arrange the prosciutto slices so they overlap slightly, then carefully wrap them completely around each seasoned tenderloin in a single layer, tucking the ends underneath.
Using kitchen string, tie the wrapped tenderloins snugly in several places along their length to secure the prosciutto and any folded tail portions.
Place the prepared tenderloins in the preheated oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each tenderloin reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove from the oven and loosely tent the tenderloins with aluminum foil. Let them rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before removing the string.
Slice the rested tenderloins diagonally into thick slices and serve warm with your choice of accompaniments.
Comments
Pork tenderloin, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil are all stocked at every major Charlotte chain, and prosciutto and kitchen string are common enough at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Publix that no special trip is necessary. A two-pound tenderloin with herb wrap runs roughly $18–24 depending on sales, landing at $2.25–3 per serving, which is reasonable for a protein-centered main. The stated 50 minutes is honest if you account for browning, wrapping with prosciutto and string, and a 25-minute roast, though rushed weeknight cooks should add 10 minutes for breathing room. This is a hands-off oven dish once it goes in, feeds eight comfortably, and reheats decently the next day, making it friendly for both family dinner and next-day leftovers, though the herb crust softens slightly on reheating.
