Perfect Pork Tenderloin

I’m new to cooking pork tenderloin- but also sad i’ve missed out all this time!

It’s such a nice change when you’re tired of chicken! And this recipe is SO easy!

I like to have leftovers so I cook two large tenderloins. Costco sells a 2 pack if you shop there!

I place the meat on a large cutting board, then I rub olive oil, crushed garlic, and seasoning all over generously. I use about 4 crushed garlic cloves.

Next, heat some oil in a skillet. You know I prefer a cast iron skillet , but any oven safe skillet will work. When the oil is hot, place the meat in the skillet and sear each side until the color changes. Sear each side a few minutes on medium heat.

This Glaze was delicious! I found it at Costco! I added it while I seared the meat in the skillet and again at the very end once the meat was cut!

Sear the meat for about 6 minutes or until you see the meat change in color. Then, place the entire skillet in the oven preheated to 400. Cook for 13-15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145. SO EASY! I like to pair it with carrot fries!

When the tenderloin reaches 145, remove the skillet from the oven and cover with foil. Let the meat sit for a few minutes before slicing.

Enjoy!!

*2 pork tenderloins

Preheat oven to 400.
