The Preparation

Pork Tenderloin:

24 ounce pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon olive oil

The Execution

1. Gather and prep all of your ingredients. Trim silver skin off of the tenderloin if needed. Pre-heat oven to 400F.

2. Rub oil over the tenderloin as needed, then season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

3. Place the tenderloins into a baking tray or onto a baking sheet, then bake for 22-25 minutes or until internal temperature is 145F.
