Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 1 pound) pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the honey, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Stir until a thick paste forms.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, sear the pork tenderloin on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve warm with your favorite sides.
