Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon gluten free-soy sauce or coconut aminos, optional but if omitting, double the salt
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven’s broiler then line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set aside.
- Combine salt, pepper, baking soda, soy, and avocado oil in a bowl and rub onto the tenderloin. Place the tenderloin onto the foil lined baking sheet and tuck the thin end of the loin under itself so that it is an even thickness.
- Broil on hight for 5 minutes then flip and broil another 8-14 minutes, or until the meat registers 125ºF (there is significant carry over cooking so pull it from the oven before the usual cooking temperature of 140ºF). Remove from oven, tent with foil, and rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
If you don’t have a broiler, you can pan sear the loin on all sides and transfer to a preheated 350ºF oven and cook to 140ºF for medium-rare. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
