Ingredients

  • 1 or 2 pork tenderloins
  • Salt & black pepper
  • Blackening Season about 2 TBS per tenderloin
  • 2 TBS grapeseed or olive oil

Instructions

  • Allow your pork tenderloin(s) to sit on your counter (unopened) for 30 minutes to come to room temperature and allow even cooking.
  • Just before cooking, pat the tenderloin(s) dry, season with salt and pepper and then season with blackening season, patting it on.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large skillet or griddle, heat 1-2 TBS of oil (just enough to cat your pan lightly) until it gets hot. I can always tell when the oil begins to have tiny "waves" or shimmer. Add your seasoned pork tenderloin (you should hear it hit the pan with a nice sizzle.).
  • Cook each side for 2 minutes, then using tongs, allow the short side of each end of the tenderloin to sear for 45-60 seconds. Adding a small amount of additional oil if needed.
  • Quickly place the meat into a baking dish or pan and finish it off in your preheated oven. For 15-25 minutes (depending on the size of your tenderloin) or until internal temp reaches 145.
  • Remove pork, allow it to sit on the counter for 4-5 minutes, slice and enjoy!
