Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork tenderloin
• 1 cup Orange juice
• 0.5 cup Lime juice
• 6 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 4 Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Remove the pork from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 6

Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet to deglaze it, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 7

Roast the pork tenderloin in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
