Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the pork completely dry with paper towels, rubbing both sides and all creases.

  2. Step 2

    Season generously all over with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and thyme or paprika.

  3. Step 3

    Heat olive oil in a heavy 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Sear the pork 4 minutes per side without moving — the surface should be deep golden brown.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer the skillet to a preheated 400°F oven and roast 12–14 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F at the thickest point.

  6. Step 6

    Rest the pork 5 minutes on a cutting board before slicing. Serve hot with pan juices spooned over.

Tools you’ll need

  • 12-inch heavy skillet (cast iron or stainless steel)
