Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 Scallions, chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp Allspice, ground
- 0.5 tsp Cinnamon, ground
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg, ground
- 1 tsp Paprika, smoked
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, fresh thyme, scallions, garlic, and grated ginger to form the marinade base.
Add the spices (allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper) to the marinade and whisk to combine.
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place it on the wire rack. Discard the remaining marinade.
Roast the pork tenderloin in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork from the oven, tent it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
