Sprinkle pork with pepper and salt. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add pork; cook 5 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Place pan in oven. Bake at 425u00b0 for 8 minutes or until a thermometer registers 145u00b0 (slightly pink); let stand 5 minutes. Cut crosswise into 16 slices.
