Steps to Succulent Pork
- Prepare the oven and tenderloin
Preheat your oven to 200ยฐC (400ยฐF). Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat or silver skin, pat it dry with a paper towel, and pierce it all over with a fork. - Season the meat
Rub olive oil over the entire tenderloin. Mix together salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and ground coriander. Sprinkle this mixture over your tenderloin and use your hands to rub the spices thoroughly into the meat. - Sear for flavor
In a large, oven-safe pan, heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloin and sear it on all sides until browned, taking about 6 to 8 minutes in total. - Roast to perfection
Once browned, transfer the pan directly to your preheated oven. Bake the tenderloin for 13 to 15 minutes, flipping it halfway through the cooking time. - Rest and serve
After removing from the oven, let your tenderloin rest on a cutting board for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Then slice and serve to eager diners.
