Ingredients

  • 3 lb. pork tenderloins (2 tenderloins, each 1½ pounds)
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Prep pork by trimming fat and silver membrane if present.
  • In a small bowl, mix together oregano, cumin, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and coriander. Using your hands, rub this all over pork tenderloins.
  • In a large oven safe skillet over medium high heat, heat olive oil. When it is hot, add pork tenderloins and sear on all sides, for about 10 minutes, 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the pork is nicely browned.
  • Carefully transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until cooked to 140-145°F. Let meat rest for at least 5 minutes prior to slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the spice mixture to your own liking. If you're a garlic fan, increase the amount of garlic. If you like a little more heat, add cayenne red pepper.
