Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs. Pork Tenderloin
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Chipotle in Adobo Sauce
  • 3 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Cilantro fresh chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Oil

Instructions
 

  • Poke the pork tenderloin all over with a fork. This will allow the marinade to really absorb into the pork.
  • In a small bowl whisk together 1 ½ tbsps chipotle in adobo sauce, 3 tbsps maple syrup, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro and 3 cloves minced garlic.
  • Place pork in a large storage bag and pour marinade over the pork. Seal bag tightly and place in the fridge to marinade for 4 hours up to overnight.
  • **Remove pork from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet (or other oven safe skillet) over high heat. Once the skillet is very hot, carefully sear pork tenderloin (WITHOUT DRIPPINGS + discard leftover marinade) for about 2-3 minutes on all sides until you have a nice crust.
  • Transfer to the oven and cook for about 12-14 minutes. When done, pork should be at least 145 degrees but I prefer mine cooked to 150 - 155 degrees. Check temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • When done, remove pork from the oven and transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to let rest for a few minutes.
  • Slice and serve pork with drippings and a fresh sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
