Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius). Combine the salt, coriander, and cumin in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork to the pan. Cook for 6 minutes, rotating to brown on all sides.
  3. Remove the pork from the pan and transfer it to the rack of a roasting pan. Brush all sides with the harissa glaze. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
  4. Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes. Cut it crosswise into slices. Serve with the minted yogurt sauce and you can also pair it with a heaping portion of Fattoush Salad.

Notes

  • Storage Info:
  • Store leftover Harissa Roasted Pork Tenderloin in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it will stay good for up to three days. To freeze it, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil, and it'll be good for up to two months. Reheating is simple. If refrigerated, gently reheat slices in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) until warmed through. If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
