Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to Broil. Place the oven rack about 6 inches from the top of the oven. Rinse and pat dry the pork tenderloin. Place it on a large baking sheet. Combine all remaining ingredients in a small bowl and stir with a spoon to combine and form a thick paste. Use your hands to rub the paste all over the pork.

Broil the pork for 8 minutes, remove from the oven and turn the pork over. Broil an additional 6-8 minutes, until the meat registers 145 degrees with an internal thermometer. Remove from the oven and let the meat rest at least 3 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

* I used two small pork tenderloins that were just over a pound each. Watch closely and be careful not to overcook the meat. Cook by temperature and not by time. Pink pork is always tastiest!
