Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat the 1.5 lb pork tenderloin dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Coarsely crush the 1 tbsp black peppercorns and 1 tbsp red peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a pan.
Step 3
Rub the pork all over with 1 tsp salt and the crushed peppercorns, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 5
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 145°F, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. The meat should be slightly pink in the center and juicy.
Step 7
Slice and serve with any pan juices.
