Pork Tenderloin is versatile, tasty, easy to prepare, and fun to cook.
Not only can you prepare it as is or slice it thin for some tasty cutlets, but you can also prepare any sauce on the side, and you will have a new dish.
Always trim your pork tenderloin.
I always remove the thin membrane around the pork tenderloin and some fat tissues.
The more it is trimmed, the less fat it will render.
Patting the pork with a paper towel will speed up the cooking process.
Also, always have your meats at room temperature. It will cook faster and more evenly.
The pan-seared pork loin was finished in the oven for 10 minutes to ensure it was thoroughly cooked throughout, leaving the inside nice and moist.
How to prepare your pan-seared pork tenderloin
With just a few ingredients, this recipe will cook relatively quickly. And as with all my recipes, please have all your ingredients ready before turning on the stove.
- I cut the tenderloins in half, but you can cut them in quarters to further quicken the cooking process. Season them with salt and pepper and your herbs de Provence or your choice of herbs.
- Start by turning on the oven to 400F.
- Place your ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and warm it up until the oil is hot but not smoking.
- Add your tenderloin pieces and sear them evenly on all sides. You should have a nice crispy crust around them.
- Place your skillet in the hot oven and continue cooking for another 5 if each fillet is cut in four or 10 minutes if only halved.
- Remove from the oven and serve
