Caribbean-Style Pork Tenderloin

I'm all for spicy food. Everyone in my house likes it, even my 2 1/2 yr old! So when I read this recipe I thought it would be a good it.

It was easy too!


Serves 4
Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Pinch Cayenne
1 (1lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed


1. Combine orange zest and juice, lime zest and juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne in large zip-close plastic bag; add pork. Squeeze out air and seal bag; turn to coat pork. Refrigerate, turning bag occasionaly, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

2. Preheat oven to 450F

3. Lightly spray roasting pan with nonstick spray. Place tenderloin in pan; drizzle marinade over top. Roast 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350F and roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of tenderloin registers 160F for medium, 15-18 minuts. Transfer to cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Cut into 12 slices.
