with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Brown tenderloin on all sides, reducing heat if fat begins to smoke, about 10 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the center registers 125 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn roast halfway
