Chipotle Honey Lime Pork Tenderloin

Directions

• Pork Tenderloin – Marinate Overnight
• Trim tenderloins of fat and silver skin as much as possible. Place in a large ziplock bag or other container to marinate.
• In a bowl combine lime juice, zest, honey, salt, and garlic powder.
• Stir to combine, then pour half over tenderloins, reserving half for sauce.
• To tenderloins add chiles and adobo sauce. Seal and marinade in fridge (best overnight).
• Pork Tenderloin
• About 30 minutes before you are ready to cook, remove pork from fridge and allow to come to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 425F.
• In a large, heavy oven-proof skillet, heat enough oil to coat over medium high temperature.
• Remove tenderloins from marinade and sear in hot skillet on all sides.
• Place the skillet in the oven and roast tenderloins for about 15 min.
• Check temperature with an instant read thermometer. Remove pork from the oven at approximately 140-145, cover pork in skillet with foil. Let rest on the counter for 5-10 minutes or until temperature rises to 150.
• Remove pork to a cutting board, pour reserved lime juice mixture into skillet with meat juices and heat on high.
• Sauce
• Allow sauce to reduce and thicken slightly, then pour over sliced pork tenderloins. If you don’t have enough sauce or it thickens too much you can add a little water and continue simmering it until it is the quantity and thickness you want.
