- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 375º F.
2. Place the thyme, garlic, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper in a mortar. Crush well with the pestle to create a paste. Spread the paste on the tenderloins, covering all sides. Cover the tenderloins in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.
3. Remove the tenderloins from the refrigerator and discard the excess marinade.
4. Heat a large frying pan on medium-high. Add the oil and brown the tenderloins 3 minutes on each side.
