Ingredients

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt
1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
F.

In separate bowl mix dry ingredients such as garlic powder, oregano, cumin, coriander,
thyme and salt. Stir mixture with a fork until all the ingredients are well combined and
they form a seasoning. This will be used as a rub to ensure the pork is well seasoned
throughout. Sprinkle the rub over the tenderloin with a dry hand, then rub the pork with
the seasoning over both sides of the meat, pressing gently so the seasoning adheres well
to the tenderloin.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat. Add the minced
garlic and saute, stirring, for 1 minute. Put tenderloin in the pan and cook for about 10
minutes, searing each side using tongs to turn the meat. Transfer meat to a roasting pan
and bake for 20 minutes. Slice and serve.
