Ingredients
  

For the Pork
  • 2 pounds Pork Tenderloins Use two 1-pound tenderloins for optimal flavor and juiciness.
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Enhances flavors; reduce for a lower sodium option.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly cracked preferred for better flavor and aroma.
For the Garlic Herb Butter
  • 3 tablespoons Minced Italian Herbs Adds savory flavor; substitute with oregano or a store-bought blend if needed.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the pork cooks evenly and develops a caramelized exterior.
  2. Poke holes all over the two pork tenderloins to allow the flavors to infuse, then stuff with minced garlic and Italian herbs.
  3. Generously rub sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the tenderloins to enhance flavor.
  4. Mix melted unsalted butter with garlic salt, onion powder, and fresh parsley until well combined.
  5. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add avocado oil, and sear the pork tenderloins for about 3 minutes per side until golden-brown.
  6. Transfer the skillet with the pork into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing and drizzling with garlic herb butter.
