Best Recipe for Spanish Crusted Roast Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3/4 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
- 3/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted, cooled, and coarsely ground in a food processor
- 4 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary
- 2 1/2 teaspoons pimentón (smoked paprika), divided
- 2 tablespoons Madeira
- 2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
- Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté garlic until pale golden, about 30 seconds. Stir in panko, almonds, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon pimentón, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a large plate.
- Stir together Madeira, remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 2 teaspoons pimentón, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Pat pork dry and rub all over with mixture. Pat three fourths of crumbs all over pork, pressing gently to adhere, then sprinkle tops with remaining crumbs.
- Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into meat registers 145 to 150°F, about 20 minutes. (Check after 15 minutes to see if crumbs are getting too dark; if they are, tent loosely with foil.) Transfer pork to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
