Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2lb pork tenderloin
  • 1 Tbsp + vegetable oil
  • ~1 1/2 Tbsp mixed dried herbs or Herbs de Provence
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Set Pork Tenderloin on a plate on the counter for ~ 30 minutes before cooking.  Before cooking lightly rub/sprinkle on sea salt, black pepper, and herbs.
  • Bring a heavy bottomed & oven proof pan to medium high heat.  Add enough vegetable oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.  Turn your oven vent on - there may be a fair amount of smoke.  Grab a splatter guard as well, if you've got one.
  • When the oil is hot, add the tenderloin and pan fry ~ 2 minutes on each side (there are usually 3 sides for a tenderloin).  Immediately transfer to an oven and cook an additional 12-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 135F.  Tent and let sit 5-10 minutes before serving
  • Add salt to taste.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes

Letting meat acclimate to room temperature for ~ 20-30 minutes  before cooking will ensure more even cooking.
