Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 2 medium Fresh mango (ripe)
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 3 tbsp Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Ginger (grated)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat or silver skin and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using). Rub this spice mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork tenderloin for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the pork is roasting, prepare the mango glaze. Peel and pit the mangoes, and puree the flesh in a blender or food processor until smooth.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mango puree, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir and let simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle the mango glaze generously over the top.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with your choice of sides, such as rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.
