HOW TO COOK PORK TENDERLOIN IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Put an oven-safe skillet into the oven and turn the oven to 450 °F (232 °C). You can use a cast-iron skillet or any skillet that's safe to put into the oven. Then, preheat the oven while you prepare the tenderloin. Heating the skillet will help your tenderloin brown when you put it into the pan.
• Pat the pork tenderloin dry and remove silverskin if it's visible. Get out 1 to 1 1⁄2 pounds (0.45 to 0.68 kg) of pork tenderloin and take it out of the package. Pat every side of the tenderloin dry with a paper towel and look for a thin, silver membrane covering the meat. If you see silverskin, remove it or the meat will be tough.Tip: To remove the silverskin, slide the tip of a paring knife under the thin membrane to loosen it. Then, use your hands to pull off the membrane. Since pork tenderloins are usually smaller cuts of meat, there may be 2 small tenderloins packaged together.
• Sprinkle the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Scatter 1 teaspoon (5.5 g) of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 g) of freshly ground black pepper over the surface of the tenderloin. Turn the tenderloin a few times so salt and pepper that fell sticks to the meat. If you're in a rush for time or want to keep the seasonings minimal, you don't need to season the tenderloin any more than this.
• Rub 1 to 2 tablespoons (6 to 12 g) of spice or seasoning mix over the tenderloin. If you're seasoning a small tenderloin that's around 1 pound (450 g), you might need less seasoning. You can use your favorite spice rub or seasoning mix, such as: Dry BBQ rub Cajun seasoning Curry powder or garam masala Za'atar Chinese 5-spice blend
• Take the pan out of the oven and swirl vegetable oil in the bottom. Put on oven mitts and remove the hot skillet from the preheated oven. Set it on the stove and pour in 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of vegetable oil. Then, carefully swirl the pan a little so the oil spreads across the skillet. The oil will prevent the tenderloin from sticking to the hot skillet.
• Put the tenderloin in the skillet and roast it for 20 to 25 minutes. Lay the seasoned tenderloin in the hot skillet and put it onto the middle rack of the oven. Carefully flip the tenderloin over and reduce the oven temperature to 400 °F (204 °C) once it's halfway through the cooking time. You may have to curl or bend the tenderloin so it fits in the skillet.
• Remove the pork when it reaches at least 145 °F (63 °C). Insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the thickest part of the tenderloin. Once it's reached at least 145 °F (63 °C), take the tenderloin out of the oven.
• Rest the pork tenderloin for 10 minutes. Cover the meat loosely with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes so it finishes cooking. The pork will continue to cook after you take it out of the oven and the juices will redistribute within the meat. The temperature of the meat will rise about 5 degrees as it rests.
• Slice the tenderloin into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) pieces before serving. Carefully lift back the foil and transfer the meat to a cutting board and use a serrated knife to carefully cut the tenderloin into thin slices. Serve the pork tenderloin with roasted vegetables, scalloped potatoes, or a garden salad. The meat should be much easier to handle since it's been resting for 10 minutes. Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. If you prefer, you can freeze the tenderloin for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• For the pork tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the peppercorns in a resealable bag and crush them coarsely with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
• Mix together the salt, peppercorns, thyme, rosemary and crushed red pepper, if using, in a bowl. Season the pork with the seasoning mix.
• Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the pork and cook, turning as needed to brown the pork all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until cooked through (145 degrees F on a meat thermometer), 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent with foil to rest.
• For the herby mustard cream sauce: Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat. Melt the butter, then add the garlic, thyme and rosemary and cook for a minute or two Sprinkle over the flour and cook, stirring, for an additional minute. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the cream thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the whole-grain mustard and parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Slice the pork and shingle it onto a platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the top and sprinkle over some chopped parsley. Transfer the remaining sauce to a sauceboat or serving bowl and serve alongside the pork.
