Sweet Spicy Pork Tenderloin Recipes

SPICY-SWEET PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange pork slices in a single layer in the skillet. Spoon soy sauce mixture over the pork. Cook pork until completely browned and just slightly pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove pork to a plate, retaining juices in the skillet.

SWEET & SPICY PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper,cumin, chili powder and cinnamon. rub this into the tenderloin and let it sit for atleast an hour. I have let mine sit overnight and was really good that way too.
• 2. Heat olive oil in ovenproof heavy skillet. I used my cast iron skillet.Put pork in and brown all sides, about 4 minutes total. Remove from heat, leaving pork in the pan.
• 3. Make the glaze then press over the top of tenderloin (the glaze will look dry, but its ok, it wont be) I know this doesnt look like a glaze, more like damp brown sugar, it will turn to a glaze when it melts. Place skillet in the over and roast for about 20 minutes til center reaches 140 degrees. let pork sit in pan on top of stove, covered in foil, for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve.

• Brush on the Thai chili sauce glaze on the pork tenderloin during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and allow to rest 5 minutes. Slice pork tenderloin and garnish with sliced green onions.
