Pork Tenderloin - Roasted

By [e-mail]

It doesn't need a sauce, but it is also really good served with A1 or BBQ sauce.

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 lb. Pork Tenderloin
• 2 Tbsp oil (vegetable oil or extra light olive oil - should have a high smoke point)
• 1 tsp sea salt, or to taste
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp ground coriander

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400˚F with the rack in the middle.

Trim tenderloin of fat and any silver skin and pat dry with a paper towel.

Pierce pork loin all over with a fork and rub with 1 Tbsp oil.

Combine your dry seasonings and sprinkle onto the tenderloin then use your hands to rub the spices into the tenderloin until evenly coated.

Heat 1 Tbsp oil over med-high heat in a large oven-safe pan (cast iron or a dutch oven will work). Once oil is hot, add pork and brown on all sides (6 minutes total).

Place in the oven and bake uncovered at 400˚F for 13-15 min, flipping the tenderloin over halfway through baking.

Bake until center of pork registers at least 150˚F then transfer to a cutting board and let meat rest 5-10 min. Slice into rings and serve.
