- 1 pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 garlic cloves unpeeled & smashed lightly
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- salt & pepper
Preheat the oven to 425F.
Remove any excess fat and silverskin from the tenderloin and season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan, preferably cast iron or blue steel, until smoking.
Gently place the seasoned tenderloin into the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Move the pan to the oven and roast for 8 minutes.
Remove from the oven and place the pan over high heat on the stove. Add butter, thyme, and garlic and, using a large spoon, baste the pork with seasoned butter for 2 minutes.
Remove the tenderloin to a plate and let rest for 8 minutes before carving.
