Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Ground paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin, then pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and garlic powder to create a spice rub.
Rub the olive oil all over the pork tenderloin, then coat it evenly with the spice mix, pressing it gently to adhere.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin for about 2 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-18 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached. Once done, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes on a cutting board.
While the pork rests, prepare the maple chipotle sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to simmer.
Let the sauce simmer gently for about 5 minutes, then whisk in butter until melted and the sauce becomes smooth and glossy.
Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle generously with the maple chipotle sauce. Serve immediately.
