Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork tenderloin trimmed and patted dry
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika or Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for searing

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • Rub the pork. Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, then coat the dry tenderloin evenly.
  • Sear. Brown the pork in hot olive oil for about 5 minutes, turning to color all sides.
  • Roast. Roast at 400 degrees F for 18 to 21 minutes until the center reaches 145 degrees F.
  • Rest. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing into rounds.

Notes

Substitutions: Italian seasoning can replace the paprika.
Tips: Check the temperature early since tenderloin is lean and cooks fast.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 3 days and reheat gently until 165 degrees F.
