Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Cooking the Pork

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Sear the Pork
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Sear the pork tenderloin in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

Roast in the Oven
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
