A flavorful pork tenderloin recipe with a delightful honey-lime glaze.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Using aluminum foil makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, coriander, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Ensure the spices are evenly combined for a consistent flavor.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork tenderloins.
Pat the pork dry before applying the rub to help it adhere better.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each pork tenderloin for about 2 minutes on each side until browned.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a nice crust to the meat.
Transfer the seared pork to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 155°F (68°C).
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to the desired doneness.
While the pork is baking, mix the honey and lime juice in a small bowl.
Warm the honey slightly if it's too thick to mix easily.
Drizzle the honey-lime glaze over the baked pork tenderloins before serving.
Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juices.
Slice the pork tenderloins and serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy your meal!
Garnish with lime wedges for an extra touch of freshness.
