Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Equipment

  • Oven-safe skillet
  • Meat thermometer
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the pork tenderloin and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  6. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the pork while searing to create a glaze.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  9. Slice the pork into medallions and serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

Always use a meat thermometer to check for doneness and let the meat rest before slicing to ensure a juicy pork tenderloin.
