Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, smoked paprika, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, brown sugar, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.
-
Pat the pork tenderloins dry with paper towels.
-
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the surface of each pork tenderloin, ensuring they are well coated.
-
Let the pork rest for 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, you can cover and refrigerate the pork for up to 4 hours.
-
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until deeply browned, about 5 minutes per side.
-
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for approximately 10–15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
-
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice into medallions and serve.
