Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season all over with the salt and black pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork and sear, turning every 2–3 minutes, until browned on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C), about 12–15 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
