Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh mango, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together cumin powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and rub the spice mixture evenly across the surface.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
Transfer the skillet with the pork tenderloin to the preheated oven and roast for about 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the pork is roasting, prepare the mango glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the chopped mango, honey, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, and chicken broth.
Simmer the glaze mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes until the mango is soft.
Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender), puree the mango mixture until smooth. If necessary, return it to the pan and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Drizzle the mango glaze over the sliced pork tenderloin. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite vegetables or side dishes.
