- Cook the food until ready.
- Once the pork tenderloin has finished cooking, carefully remove it from the water bath. Remove the pork tenderloin from the bag along with the herbs and garlic to a paper towel-lined plate or a sheet tray with a roasting rack. Before searing, thoroughly dry the pork tenderloin with paper towels.
- Place a sauté pan over high heat and add high-temperature cooking oil. When the oil begins to lightly smoke, carefully add the pork tenderloin along with the garlic and herbs to the pan. Sear the pork tenderloin on each side for approximately one minute. After flipping the pork tenderloin, add unsalted butter for basting. This adds an extra depth of flavor and aroma.1 tbsp High Temperature Oil: canola oil, grape seed oil, avocado oil, 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter, for basting (optional)
