Ingredients
- 1½ pounds pork tenderloin
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ tablespoons Texan Heartland Pork & Poultry Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, optional
- 1 teaspoon honey, optional

Directions
- Preheat the oven: Heat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Prepare the pork: Pat the pork tenderloin dry and trim away any silver skin.

- Sear the pork: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tenderloin for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
- Roast until done: Transfer skillet to the oven and roast for 12-16 minutes, or until the pork reaches 145°F internally.
