Crusted Pork Tenderloin

Crusted Pork Tenderloin

1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin (not pork loin)
2 cups garlic herb or Italian-style bread crumbs
1/2 cup olive oil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Seperate the two halves in the pork tenderloin package. Mix bread crumbs and olive oil to consistencey that will stick to meat when pressed such as the consistencey of a graham cracker crust mixture. Coat meat with the bread crumb mixture on all sides by pressing with hands. Make sure that there are no pink areas showing through the coating, approximately 1/4 inch thick on all sides. Place uncovered on baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until meat thermometer reaches 170 degrees. Let meat rest on pan for ten minutes and cut into slices and enjoy.
