Xanthan Gum Free Lemon Garlic Pork Tenderloin

Bright lemon, pungent garlic, and a handful of fresh herbs do all the heavy lifting here, turning a lean pork tenderloin into something that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy. The marinade comes together in minutes — just olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, thyme, turmeric, salt, and pepper — and the longer you let the pork soak, the deeper and more aromatic the flavor gets. A quick sear in a hot skillet builds a gorgeous golden crust before the whole thing finishes in a high-heat oven, locking in juices and keeping every slice tender. Because every single ingredient here is a whole food or pantry staple, there's no need to scan labels or second-guess thickeners hiding in a spice blend or sauce. That matters a lot when you're avoiding additives like xanthan gum, which can sneak into pre-made marinades and seasoning mixes. Sliced into medallions and finished with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon, this is the kind of clean, vibrant dinner that earns a permanent spot in your weeknight rotation.
