Directions

Preheat oven (or outdoor BBQ Grill) to 400 degrees.
Season the tenderloin on both sides with Dash of Desperation Seasoning
Place a cast iron skillet (or oven-safe pan) on the stove over high heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
When the pan is good and hot, place the tenderloins in the center, but try not to let them touch each other.
Cook tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
Add the pork tenderloin back to the pan and place in the oven for 15-25 minutes until pork is fully cooked (larger pieces will take a bit longer). Verify temp with meat thermometer. Pork should be 145° F to be slightly pink, 160° for medium. Take it out at desired temp and let rest for 3 minutes before slicing. Note- If pork is cooked more than these recommended temperatures, it will be very dry and overdone.
While the pork is roasting, whip up a batch of Balsamic Caramelized Onions.
Slice the pork and serve with Onions. Serve hot with your favorite side dish
