Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Sauce

This Easy Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Sauce knocks it out of the park on flavor, but is still very simple to make. The tender, juicy pork is seared, then baked in the oven and a garlic sauce is made with the drippings to finish it with lots of flavor!
