Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 tsp dried crushed pepper
  • 2 lbs pork tenderloin boneless

Instructions

  1. Chop the basil and crush the garlic clove and place into a bowl.
  2. Add the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil and dried crushed pepper to the bowl and stir until well combined.
  3. Place the pork into a large ziploc bag and pour the sauce into the ziploc bag.
  4. Seal the bag and place in the fridge for 20 minutes. If you have more time, you can marinate the pork for a few hours, but it's not necessary.
  5. Preheat a large skillet on medium heat and preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  6. Add the pork to the skillet and sear it on all sides until you see a very light brown. Don't add the sauce to the skillet, reserve that in the bag for the baking part of this recipe.
  7. Transfer the seared pork into a shallow pan and pour the remaining sauce on top. I use a 13×9 pyrex pan.
  8. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until the inside temperature reaches 145 degrees.
  9. Remove the pork from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  10. Slice the pork and serve.
  11. Enjoy!
