Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin 1 ½ - 2 lbs
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Cut tenderloins in half making four equal size pieces.
- Mix together seasonings in a small bowl and rub all over pork tenderloin making sure to get on all sides and all nooks and crannies.
- Put 2 tablespoon olive oil in a cast iron skillet on medium high.
- Place pork tenderloin pieces into the pan.
- Cook for a minute or two, making sure to sear all sides (5-10 minutes total). We are just browning here because they will finish cooking in the oven.
- After browning on both sides place pan in the oven and cook for about 15-20 minutes until internal temperature is 140°-145°.
- Remove from oven and place tenderloins on a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for ten minutes while juices redistribute. Don't skip this step if you want juicy pork.
- Slice and serve.
Notes
Feel free to use dijon mustard if you don't have dry mustard.
