  • Trim the pork tenderloin: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the tenderloin before cooking.
  • Season the pork tenderloin: Season the tenderloin with salt, pepper, and other desired spices before cooking.
  • Sear the pork tenderloin: Sear the tenderloin in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help to lock in the juices and flavor.
  • Cook the pork tenderloin: After searing, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the tenderloin until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest: Let the tenderloin rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
