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.

Easy and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was my first shot at pork tenderloin but it won't be my last. This recipe is fantastic! The meat turned out moist and... flavorful. An added bonus was the wonderful smell it produced while cooking. I added a little chopped fresh rosemary to the spice mixture (highly recommended). I followed other reviewer's tips and let the meat sit for an hour after applying the spice rub before cooking (having the meat at room tempurature allowed it to sear more quickly and evenly). I avoided the burned garlic scenario by simply adding some juice from a jar of minced garlic to the olive oil. This flavored the oil without risk of burned bitter garlic. And as suggested by others, I made a pan sauce by deglazing the saute pan with white wine, chicken stock and dijon mustard. Perfect compliment to the meat. Most definately a keeper. Read more

Very easy, very good!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I agree with most of the comments already posted - excellent, moist, easy but needs a sauce and it's very easy to get too... much salt. Also took another suggestion and substituted rosemary for the coriander. Deglazed with white wine and stock and added dijon mustard & a bit of half & half to make the sauce. Picky kids liked it - so did hubby. Will definitely make again but leave out most of the salt. Read more

Easy and tasty, but...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I concur with several of the others here that the meat was very tender and flavorful, but sauce was a must. Be careful with... the salt and the quantity of seasoning. I put a bit too much salt in mine and it easily became too salty. It almost can go with next to no salt at all. When I was searing my meet in the pan, the garlic was starting to brown too quickly, so I added a few tablespoons of white wine which made the already beautiful aroma that much better. Then, when I put it in the oven, I added about a quarter cup of white wine which made for a nice sauce when it blended with the herbs. I did two TL's at the same time and would probably add some stock with the wine so that there's enough sauce. Otherwise, the meat is moist and tender, but really lacking juice.Read more

Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe after searching the Food Network website trying to find a pork tenderloin recipe requiring only... ingredients I had in the house. I make pork tenderloin probably at least once a month and must say this is the best tasting recipe I have come across. I made the rub as directed and after applying to the tenderloin let the meat rest in the refrigerator for an hour to absorb some of the flavor. Seared as directed and finished in the oven for 15 mins. I deglazed the pan with white wine, a little butter and a tsp of Dijon mustard. Delicious! While the pork was juicy and tender, the reduction added a little something special to the overall dish. Served with roasted fingerlings and asparagus. Big hit in our house. Read more
