Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pork tenderloins (approx. 1 lb each)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 0.25 cup hone y
  • 1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo, finely minced
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season pork tenderloins evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, honey, minced chipotle, garlic, and cumin. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the mixture reduces to a syrupy consistency.
  4. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until well-browned, approximately 2 minutes per side.
  5. Brush a thick layer of the citrus-chili glaze over the seared pork.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove skillet from oven and brush with the remaining glaze. Transfer pork to a cutting board and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing into medallions.
