Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a small bowl, combine the thyme, sage, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Place the pork on a large cutting board or plate and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture over the entire surface of the tenderloins. Set aside.
Add the olive oil to a large oven-safe cast-iron pan or heavy-bottomed skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the onions start to soften and the garlic is fragrant (reduce the heat to medium if the garlic starts to burn).
Push the onions and garlic to the side and place the tenderloins in the skillet. Sear for 4 minutes on each side or until browned then bake for 10-15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with fresh thyme if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
