Ingredients
For pork:
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For pineapple salsa:
- 2 cups diced fresh pineapple
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 jalapeño pepper diced seeds removed
- 1 lime juiced
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
For pork:
- In a ziplock bag add pineapple juice, chili powder, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin.
- Gently mix and add in pork tenderloin.
- Let marinade for about 30 minutes while you prepare the salsa.
- After your salsa has been prepared preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast-iron or oven-safe skillet set over medium heat.
- Once the oil is shiny and hot add in pork tenderloin and throw away the remaining marinade.
- Quickly brown the tenderloin on all sides and add the tenderloin to the preheated oven.
- Roast in the oven until the internal temperature is 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes depending on size. (I keep a thermometer in the pork while cooking so I can easily check. If you don't have an oven-safe thermometer I would start checking on the pork at the 15-minute mark)
- Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for about 7 minutes. T
- his will help the pork reach 145 degrees and will be perfectly cooked.
- Slice, top with pineapple salsa, and enjoy.
For salsa:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl add pineapple, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeño pepper, and lime juice.
- Stir to combine, season with salt and keep cold in the refrigerator while you cook the pork.
