Ginger Free Paleo Garlic-Herb Pork Tenderloin with Peach Salsa

Few things hit the dinner table quite like a beautifully seared pork tenderloin, and this garlic-herb version with fresh peach salsa is genuinely stunning. The herb paste — built from rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, and plenty of garlic — gets rubbed all over the meat before a quick stovetop sear locks in that deeply browned crust. From there, the oven does the heavy lifting, bringing the tenderloin to a juicy, faintly pink center that slices into perfect medallions. The peach salsa is where things get really exciting: ripe diced peaches, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and fresh lime juice come together into something bright and a little fiery that plays beautifully against the savory pork. Many fruit salsas and marinades sneak in ginger as a default flavor booster, but this one skips it entirely without losing any complexity — the lime juice and fresh herbs carry all the brightness you need. Everything here is whole-food and grain-free, so it fits naturally into a paleo approach without any substitutions or workarounds. It's the kind of recipe that looks impressive enough for company but is genuinely straightforward to pull off on a weeknight.
