Instructions
1.
Do
not cook straight out of the refrigerator.
Let it reach room temperature before cooking.

Start
heating the oven and skillet 10 to 20 minutes before cooking begins. Heat the oven to 450°F. The skillet will heat
along with the oven.
3.
Pat
the pork dry with paper towels and trim off any large pieces of surface fat.
4.

any spices being used with the salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice
mix onto the pork on all sides.
5.
Remove
the hot pan from the oven. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
6.
Place
the pork in the pan. (It's fine if your pork tenderloin is a little long for
the pan; just bend it to fit it.)

the pan to the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
8.
Reduce
the heat to 400°F. Flip the port and continue roasting 10 to 15 minutes more.

pork is done when its internal temperature registers 140°F in the thickest
part, 20 to 25 minutes total. Remove the
roast.

tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing
crosswise.
