Yield 4 persons

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pork tenderloins (12 to 14 ounces each), trimmed of fat and other skin
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle tenderloins evely with salt and pepper, rub seasoning int meat. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Place both tenderloins in skillet; cook until well browned, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Using tongs, rotate tenderloins 1/4 turn, cook until well browned, 45 to 60 seconds. Repeat until all sides are browned. Transfer tenderloins to rimmed baking sheet and place in oven (reserve skillet if making pan sauce); roast until internal temperature registers 135 to 140 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 10 to 16 minutes. (Begin pan sauce, if making, while meat roasts.) 2. Transfer tenderloins to cutting board and tent loosly with foil (continue with pan sauce, if making); let rest until internal temperature registers 145 to 150 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Cut tenderloins crosswise into 1/2 inch thick clices; arrange on platter or individual plates, and spoon sauce (if using) over; serve immediately.
