Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 pork tenderloins (2.5lbs total*)
  • pork tenderloin marinade
  • 2 tsp kosher salt ((if using table salt, cut to 1 tsp))
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 450F.
  • Season and flavor the pork however you desire. Sometimes I do a marinade beforehand, but you can also do a quick rub with sazon seasoning if you're short on time, or simply sprinkle on some salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large ovenproof skillet (I prefer cast iron) over medium high heat until it starts to smoke, then sear the tenderloins on each side for about 60-90 seconds, until brown on the outside. Don't cook the pork for more than 3 minutes total on the stove.
  • Place the entire skillet into the oven. Roast for 5 minutes, then flip the pork over.
  • Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the interior measured at the thickest part reads 140F. It will continue cooking another 5 degrees as it rests. 
  • Remove the tenderloins to a plate and let it rest for 10 minutes, so the juices can redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Slice into thin pieces, and enjoy!
