Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- Place 1 pound pork tenderloin on a baking sheet and pat dry completely with paper towels. Drizzle 2 teaspoons olive oil over all sides of the pork tenderloin and brush it on to coat the meat. Set aside.
- In a small bowl combine ¾ teaspoon sweet paprika, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, b¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon onion salt, ¼ teaspoon oregano, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme and ¼ teaspoon cayenne (if using). Whisk to combine.
- Sprinkle the spice rub over the tenderloin and pat it into the flesh so the meat is evenly coated. Bake for 20-25 minutes or to your desired doneness.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board to rest.
- Meanwhile add 1½ tablespoons lime juice, and 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro to the roasting pan stir to combine.
- Slice the pork tenderloin into ½" to ¾" slices and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the pan sauce over the sliced pork to serve. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges.
Notes
- For a hint of sweetness, add, 1 tablespoon of light brown sugar to the spice rub.
- For a velvety pan sauce, whisk a tablespoon of butter into the baking pan with the lime juice and whisk until it's emulsified before drizzling over the baked pork tenderloin.
