What do you get when you combine just a handful of ingredients and minimal mixing? An almost effortless but supremely tasty recipe for Fresh Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Cilantro Lime Sauce.
This truly is a five-star meal. . . a dish you would find on any fine restaurant's menu, and one you would have thought was labored over by the chef until it reached peak flavor potential. The main ingredients here are the pork tenderloin, the herbs, and Dijon mustard. For the sauce, I call for mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, and lime — and you just toss it all in a bowl, mix, and you're done. Preparing top chef meals at home doesn't have to be difficult!
