Put an oven-safe skillet into the oven and turn the oven to 450 °F (232 °C). You can use a cast-iron skillet or any skillet that's safe to put into the oven. Then, preheat the oven while you prepare the tenderloin. Heating the skillet will help your tenderloin brown when you put it into the pan. 2
Pat the pork tenderloin dry and remove silverskin if it's visible. Get out 1 to 1 1⁄2 pounds (0.45 to 0.68 kg) of pork tenderloin and take it out of the package. Pat every side of the tenderloin dry with a paper towel and look for a thin, silver membrane covering the meat. If you see silverskin, remove it or the meat will be tough. Since pork tenderloins are usually smaller cuts of meat, there may be 2 small tenderloins packaged together.
