Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Pork Tenderloin:
   Trim any silver skin from the pork tenderloin. Pat the pork dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
3. Season the Meat:
   In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, then coat it evenly with the spice mixture.
4. Sear the Pork:
   Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
5. Add Flavor:
   Brush the seared pork tenderloin with Dijon mustard. Add chicken broth to the skillet to keep the roast juicy.
6. Roast the Pork:
   Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
7. Rest and Slice:
   Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. Slice into medallions and serve.

Tips

• Avoid Overcooking: Pork tenderloin is lean, so monitor the temperature closely to prevent it from drying out.
• Marinade Option: For extra flavor, marinate the pork in olive oil, garlic, herbs, and lemon juice for 2-4 hours before cooking.
• Pan Sauce: After roasting, deglaze the skillet with 1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth, and whisk in a pat of butter for a quick pan sauce.
