Pork Tenderloin With Grainy Mustard-Orange Rub - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (3/4 lb) pork tenderloin
1/3 cup grainy mustard
2 teaspoons orange zest
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450\u00b0F with rack in middle position.
Cut tenderloins into 6 serving pieces, pat dry, then sprinkle with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 3/5 teaspoons pepper (total). Stir together mustard, zest, juice and garlic.
Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy oven proof skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sear pork until browned on 1 side, about 5 minutes. Turn pork over and spoon mustard mixture over browned sides.
Transfer skillet with pork to oven and roast until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145\u00b0F, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove skillet from oven and let pork stand, in skillet, 5 minutes.
