The three of us that eat "real food" in the house all love to eat pork. This is our favorite basic recipe. It came from one of my favorite shows, America's Test Kitchen, which airs on PBS. The recipe is actually for pork tenderloins, but I usually use pork chops and it turns out great! And it is super easy :) We're having this for dinner tonight with rice and corn. I better start cooking.
Pan-Seared Oven-Roasted Pork Tenderloins - Serves 4
2 pork tenderloins , (12 to 16 ounces each), trimmed of fat and silver skin
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle tenderloins evenly with salt and pepper; rub seasoning into meat. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Place both tenderloins in skillet; cook until well browned, 3 minutes. Using tongs, rotate tenderloins 1/4 turn; cook until well browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat until all sides are browned. Transfer tenderloins to rimmed baking sheet and place in oven; roast until internal temperature registers 135 to 140 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 10 to 16 minutes.
2. Transfer tenderloins to cutting board and tent loosely with foil; let rest until internal temperature registers 145 to 150 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Cut tenderloins crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, arrange on platter or individual plates; serve immediately.
