Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 1 pound each) Pork tenderloins
- 1 cup Freshly brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for searing)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coffee, brown sugar, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, ground black pepper, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the pork is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for a more intense flavor).
Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork tenderloins for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the pork is roasting, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork into medallions and drizzle the reduced marinade over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
