Cilantro Pork
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork tenderloin
- 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- olive oil
- 1 cup water
- Aluminum foil
Instructions
- Rinse tenderloin and pat dry. Place it in a large zipper-topped plastic bag. In a medium bowl, whisk together next 5 ingredients (soy sauce through cilantro), blending well until brown sugar has dissolved.
- Pour mixture over tenderloin then seal bag and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
- Add tenderloin and sear on all sides (to lock in moisture) then transfer to a 9- x 13-inch pan filled with 1 cup of water.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reads 165 degrees. Allow tenderloin to rest for a couple of minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
