Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1.5 pound pork tenderloin , silver skin removed
- 2 tablespoons canola or avocado oil
Optional: rosemary sprigs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Rub seasoning all over tenderloin and let sit for a few minutes.
- Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add tenderloin and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 6-8 minutes total. Transfer pan to the oven and top with rosemary if desired.
- Bake uncovered for 13-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork is 145ºF. Remove from oven, being careful of the hot pan handle. Transfer tenderloin to a cutting board and tent with foil. Allow to rest 5-10 minutes. Slice tenderloin and serve with sauce if desired.
