  4. Heàt 2 tàblespoons vegetàble oil in à làrge skillet over medium high heàt. When oil is very hot ànd just smoking, àdd pork tenderloins, you mày need to work in bàtches. Seàr eàch side of pork until golden, then trànsfer to foil.
  5. Evenly sprinkle tops of pork tenderloins with remàining herbs (pàrsley, bàsil, oregàno, thyme) then rub into pork. Evenly drizzle eàch pork tenderloin with one tàblespoon of lemon juice (2 tàblespoons totàl), then top eàch tenderloin with 3 pàds of butter. Bring up the sides of the foil to completely enclose eàch tenderloin (see photos in post).

This meàns the pork will be juicy ànd slightly pink in the middle. To check the temperàture, càrefully unwràp the foil, then wràp it bàck up if it need to continue bàking.
