Roasted Pork Tenderloin

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450F.

Step 2

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, or simply sprinkle on some salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large ovenproof skillet (I prefer cast iron) over medium high heat until it starts to smoke, then sear the pork 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.

Step 4

Place the entire skillet into the oven. Roast for 5 minutes, then flip the pork over.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the pork to a plate and let it rest for 10 minutes, so the juices can redistribute throughout the meat.

Step 7

Slice into thin pieces, and enjoy!
