This lamb tenderloin recipe is juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with garlic, fresh herbs, and olive oil. Quick to prepare yet elegant, it’s a great dish for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

Ingredients

1 ½ lbs lamb tenderloin (2 small tenderloins)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat lamb tenderloins dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Rub mixture over the lamb.
Heat a skillet (oven-safe) over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the lamb on all sides (2–3 minutes per side) until browned.
Transfer skillet to the oven and roast for 12–15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or desired doneness.
Remove lamb from oven, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 5–10 minutes.
Slice into medallions and serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
