Roasted Chili Maple Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients:
- 2 lb pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse calt
- fresh ground pepper
- additional oil for searing
Directions:
- Combine maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place pork tenderloin in a large plastic ziplock bag and pour marinade into bag. Gently massage tenderloin with marinade and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- When ready to cook, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Add 1 tablespoon oil in an oven proof skillet over medium high heat. Place tenderloin into skillet and sear on all sides (2-3 sides) 2-3 minutes each side until browned.
- Place entire skillet into oven. Cook for 8 - 10 minutes in oven. Using a meat thermometer, check temperature and cook until it reaches 145-160 degrees. Do not overcook! Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Depending on the thickness of your tenderloins, it may take longer than 8-10 minutes to cook. Sometimes the smaller ends cook faster than the thicker middle part. It's best to use a thermometer in the thickest part of the tenderloin to gauge the temperature.
