Trim the pork tenderloin of excess fat and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F or 190°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
While the grill preheats, prepare the glaze: In a saucepan, combine orange juice, lime juice, honey, and olive oil. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Slowly whisk the slurry into the saucepan to thicken the glaze. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
Grill the pork tenderloin for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the pork with the orange lime glaze.
While the pork rests for 5 minutes, prepare the sugar snap peas: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sugar snap peas with 1 tablespoon of water and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Slice the rested pork into medallions and drizzle with additional orange lime glaze. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the glaze for extra crunch if desired.
Serve the sliced pork alongside the sugar snap peas. Enjoy!
