Absolutely. Sear the marinated tenderloin in a hot, oven-safe skillet for 2-3 minutes per side. Then, transfer the skillet to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 145°F (63°C).
The most common reason for dry pork tenderloin is overcooking. Because it's so lean, it cooks quickly and has a small window for perfection. Using a meat thermometer is the best way to prevent this. Not resting the meat after cooking can also cause it to be dry, as the juices will run out when you slice it.
This pork pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides. Consider grilled vegetables like asparagus or bell peppers, roasted potatoes, a fresh corn salad, or a simple green salad with vinaigrette.
