Prep Time: 00:20

Recipe Time: 02:00

Temperature : 134.6F / 57C

Ingredients

• 1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, plus more for serving
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus more for serving
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

1. Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 134ºF (57ºC).
2. Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Rub herbs over the tenderloin and place in a large zipper lock or vacuum seal bag. Add 1 tablespoon butter. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the moist setting.
3. Place the bag in the water bath and set the timer for 2 hours.

Finishing Steps

1. When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Remove the pork from the bag. Pour the melted butter and herb mixture into a large skillet.
2. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter is shimmering, add the tenderloin. Sear until well-browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Add the remaining butter; as it melts, scoop the butter over the pork to baste. Once the butter is melted and the pork is basted, remove from the heat. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
4. Slice the pork into medallions and serve with additional fresh herbs and a sprinkle of salt.
