Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. In separate bowl mix dry ingredients such as garlic powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, thyme and salt. Stir mixture with a fork until all the ingredients are well combined and they form a seasoning. This will be used as a rub to ensure the pork is well seasoned throughout. Sprinkle the rub over the tenderloin with a dry hand, then rub the pork with the seasoning over both sides of the meat, pressing gently so the seasoning adheres well to the tenderloin.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat. Add the minced garlic and saute, stirring, for 1 minute. Put tenderloin in the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, searing each side using tongs to turn the meat. Transfer meat to a roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes. Slice and serve.
Recipe Notes

This can also be grilled:

  • Place over direct heat. Close lid. Rotate 1/3 every 5 minutes until done to your liking. About 25 minutes for 140°. About 30 minutes for 150°. Remember, do not cook by time alone. Use a thermometer. Time to get to your final temperature varies by weight of the tenderloin, exact surface temperature of the grill and the tenderloin at the start.
  • Remove from grill a few degrees less than your desired final temperature. Tent lightly for 5 minutes before serving.

RECIPE NOTES

Pro Tips

  1. Remember it is triangular meat not round. So a flip is 1/3 of a rotation.
  2. Brine if you have time.
  3. Cook over medium grill.
  4. Final internal temperature of 145°-150° is nicely done.
