Sear the tenderloin on all sides using tongs. Remove the skillet from the heat and place it in the oven for 10–15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest.

Add orange juice, mix everything together, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and continue cooking for about 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Turn off the heat.
