Ingredients

1 1/4 lb pork tenderloin

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp olive oil

Spread the flour in a shallow dish and coat each pork piece lightly.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the pork for 3 minutes per side, until it reaches 145 F, then transfer it to a plate.
