Ingredients

1 1-1½ pound (450-700g) pork tenderloin
salt to taste (½-1 teaspoon per pound)
1 teaspoon (2-3g) white pepper
1 teaspoon (2-3g) Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon (1-2g) thyme
1 teaspoon (1-2g) oregano
1 teaspoon (3-4g) granulated garlic
2 tablespoons (30ml) cooking oil (canola, avocado, peanut, etc.)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400℉ (205℃).
Season pork with salt and white pepper. Then, combine Creole seasoning, thyme, oregano, and garlic. Rub it evenly over the pork tenderloin.
In a large cast-iron skillet (or whatever skillet you have), heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Then, sear the pork for 5-6 minutes, rotating it 2-3 times to brown on all sides.
Remove it from the skillet and transfer it to a roasting rack. Place it in the oven and roast uncovered at 400℉ (205℃) for 13-15 minutes. Turn it over halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
Cook until the roast registers 145°F (63℃) in the thickest part of the meat. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let it rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

The average amount of salt is ½ to 1 teaspoon per pound of meat.
Tenderloin doesn't need a lot of time before it becomes dry, so pull it out of the oven as soon as it reaches the desired internal temperature and let it rest 10 minutes before slicing.
If the internal temperature reads 145°F (63℃), residual heat will continue cooking it to a safe 165°F (74℃).
