Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 ounces pork tenderloin
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter

Instruction

  • Place a small cast iron skillet in the oven on a middle rack and heat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). The skillet will heat along with the oven.
  • Using oven mitts, remove the skillet from the oven and add olive oil to the pan. Give the pan a swirl so that the oil coats the entire bottom.
  • Mix together the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the pork and rub the spices in with your fingers.
  • Place the pork in the skillet and using oven mitts, return the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, remove the skillet from the oven and using tongs, flip the pork tenderloin over. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and continue roasting another 15 minutes. 
  • Remove the skillet from the oven. Add the butter to the pan and cover with a large plate, a pan lid, or foil. Let the pork rest 15 minutes before serving. The pork is done when its internal temperature registers 145 degrees in the thickest part of the meat.
  • Remove the foil. Spoon the butter sauce over the pork before slicing.
