Ingredients:

• 2 pork tenderloins about 1
• 5 lbs each
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375F 190C

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade

Place the pork tenderloins in a large zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them

Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the pork, ensuring its evenly coated

Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably, overnight

Remove the marinated pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes

Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat

Once hot, sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until they develop a nice crust, about 2-3 minutes per side

Transfer the skillet with the seared pork tenderloins to the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145F 63C

You can baste the pork with any remaining marinade halfway through cooking

Remove the skillet from the oven and tent the pork with aluminum foil

Allow it to rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing
