Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 4 pieces sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 1 pepper chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any silverskin from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a food processor, add the sun-dried tomatoes, chipotle pepper, garlic cloves, olive oil, honey, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Rub the sun-dried tomato chipotle mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin, ensuring all sides are coated.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil, then sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
