Skillet Pork Tenderloin with Mustard & Smoked Paprika

By lorik

A very easy recipe to prepare, pork tenderloin is rubbed with paprika and mustard and then roasted to perfection.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika (hot or sweet)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

In a small bowl, stir the Dijon with the paprika and salt. Spread the mixture all over the pork.


In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over moderately high heat. Add the tenderloins and cook until browned 
on the bottoms, about 5 minutes. Flip the pork and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 135°F. Transfer to 
a work surface and let rest for 10 minutes, then cut the pork into thick slices and serve.
