Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Dry the pork tenderloins well with paper towels.
- Mix the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Rub this spice mix over all sides of the pork.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork, working in 2 batches if your pan is not big enough to fit both tenderloins without them touching. Sear the pork on all sides until it is brown, about 6 minutes total. Take the pan off the heat.
- Move the pork to a baking dish. If the spices left in the pan are black, wipe them away with a paper towel. Return the pan to the heat and add the beef broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck-on bits then boil for 1 minute until it reduces to about ¼ cup. Pour this sauce over the pork.
- Pour the apple cider vinegar over the pork then dot the top with the butter. Cover the baking dish with foil.
- Bake the pork for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Serve with a little minced parsley, for color.

Tips:
- Choose a tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight. This will ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Trim any excess fat from the tenderloin. This will help it to cook more evenly and prevent it from drying out.
- Marinate the tenderloin for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- When baking the tenderloin, use a meat thermometer to ensure that it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that it is cooked to perfection and still juicy.
- Let the tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more tender and flavorful.
