Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Combine paprika, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Stir in olive oil to form a paste.
Step 3
Rub the paprika mixture evenly all over the pork tenderloin, massaging it into the meat.
Step 4
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for 2–3 minutes per side until deeply browned.
Step 5
Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast for 12–15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
Step 6
Remove from oven and transfer pork to a cutting board. Pour wine into the hot skillet to deglaze, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 1 minute.
Step 7
Let pork rest for 5 minutes, then slice into 0.75-inch thick pieces.
Step 8
Arrange on a serving platter and drizzle with the pan sauce. Serve immediately.
