To prepare, remove the pork loin filets from their packaging. For best results, allow them to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before cooking. You can season them with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs or spices. Sear them in a hot skillet with a little oil until browned on all sides, then finish cooking in the oven or continue on the stovetop until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
