Servings:

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Prep pork by trimming fat and silver membrane if present.
3 lb. pork tenderloins
In a small bowl, mix together oregano, thyme, cumin, paprika, salt, garlic powder, coriander, and black pepper. Using your hands, rub this all over pork tenderloins.
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves, 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 2 teaspoons paprika, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder, 1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
In a large oven safe skillet over medium high heat, heat olive oil. When it is hot, add pork tenderloins and sear on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side, or about 10 minutes total, until the pork is nicely browned.
2 tablespoons olive oil
Carefully transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until cooked to medium rare (140-145°F). Let meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Using a very sharp knife, slice tenderloins into approx. 1 inch slices. Serve immediately.

Customize the spice mixture. If you're a garlic fan, increase the amount of garlic powder. If you like a little more heat, add a dash of cayenne red pepper.
Storage: Leftover pork can be refrigerated for 3 to 4 days or frozen for 2 to 3 months. I like to slice the cooked pork before freezing it because it thaws more quickly.
