Step 1
Trim the pork tenderloin well. Remove the “silver skin” and any trim-able fat. Preheat over to 375° convection or 400° in a regular oven.
Step 2
Salt and pepper all sides. I like to use my Homemaked Seasoning 7:2:2 which also has garlic powder.
Step 3
1-2 teaspoon vegetable oil in an oven-safe pan (cast iron is good here) over medium-high heat until hot.
Step 4
Sear all sides (of the tenderloin for approximately 2 minutes per side. Get close to the final color you want.
Step 5
Optional. While searing, crush 2 cloves garlic and add to 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add to the tenderloin just before moving it to the oven.
Step 6
When searing is done, remove from heat and coat with the olive oil/garlic mixture if you are using the garlic. You can add other spicing at this time if you want.
Step 7
Using a meat thermometer, cook until an internal temp of 140°-150°. About 15-20 minutes.
Step 8
Tent lightly with foil and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
