Pan-Seared Tropical Pork Tenderloin Recipe

Whip up a rub packed with tropical flavor—cinnamon, ginger, cumin, paprika and brown sugar—for a simple, yet tasty twist on the classic pork tenderloin. Sear it, glaze it with honey, garlic, sriracha and pepper to boost the umami and sweetness factor, and then roast it. Serve this sweet and spicy pork plate on your lunch or dinner menu.  

Step 1: Complete the Sub-Recipes for Glaze and Rub. 

Step 2: Coat tenderloin completely with rub and set tenderloin aside.

Step 3: Preheat oil in oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown tenderloin 3 to 4 minutes (turning with tongs to sear on all sides).

Step 4: Spoon half of glaze over tenderloin (turning to coat completely). Place into oven and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, ensuring an internal temperature of 145°F is reached.

Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 6: Slice tenderloin, spoon remaining glaze over slices and serve immediately.
