Ingredients
1 Pork Tenderloin (trimmed and silver skin removed)
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Directions 
Preheat oven to 450˚F. In a small bowl, combine your seasonings and set aside.

Coat tenderloin with 1 Tbsp oil. Sprinkle seasonings onto the meat and rub until well coated.

Heat 1 Tbsp oil over med-high heat in a large oven-safe pan (I used a cast iron frying pan). Once the oil is hot, add the pork and brown on all sides.  This should take 5-10 minutes.

Place in the oven and bake uncovered at 450˚F for about 20 min, turning the tenderloin over after 10 minutes. Bake until center of pork registers at least 150˚F.  Transfer pork to a cutting board and allow to rest 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve
