Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 4 pieces sun-dried tomatoes in oil
• 1 pepper chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim any silverskin from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 3

In a food processor, add the sun-dried tomatoes, chipotle pepper, garlic cloves, olive oil, honey, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until a smooth paste forms.

Step 4

Rub the sun-dried tomato chipotle mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin, ensuring all sides are coated.

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil, then sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

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

Step 8

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
