Tips:

Tenderize the Pork: Use a meat mallet or the back of a knife to gently pound the pork tenderloin until it is about 1/2 inch thick. This will help to tenderize the meat and ensure that it cooks evenly.

Marinate the Pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to infuse it with flavor. Allow the pork to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Sear the Pork: Searing the pork in a hot skillet will help to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices. Be sure to sear the pork for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown.

Cook the Pork: Once the pork has been seared, transfer it to a baking dish and continue to cook it in the oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the pork is cooked through but still remains tender and juicy.

Serve the Pork: Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve it with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
