COMPOUND BUTTER
In a small dish using a rubber spatula, combine the butter and the Garlic Gusto together until fully blended. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 425° F
Spray a large, oven safe skillet (like cast iron) with nonstick cooking spray (or a little oil if not counting calories) and heat over high heat.
Add the pork to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Add a pat of the butter on top of each of the pork fillets & put back in the oven for 5 minutes.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
