Steps

1. 1

   Begin by setting the oven temperature to 400°F.

2. 2

   In a medium ovenproof sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat until it shimmers. Season both sides of the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Sear the pork in the pan until all sides turn golden brown, which should take around 8 minutes.

3. 3

   Move the pan from the stovetop to the oven and cook the pork until it reaches a medium doneness (reaching an internal temperature of 150°F), which should take approximately 10 minutes. Once done, take it out of the oven, cover it loosely with foil, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before cutting into slices that are 1/2 inch thick.
