Lime-Infused Seared Pork
Ingredients
  • 1 (1 1/4 pound) pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 8 slices
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
Instructions
1
Prepare the pork tenderloin slices by gently pressing down on them to flatten them slightly, and then set them aside for the time being. In a separate bowl, combine the lime zest, olive oil, cumin, salt, crushed red pepper, and garlic to create a unique blend of flavors. Set the reserved lime juice aside for later use. Rub the seasoned mixture onto both sides of the pork slices, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Next, spray a heavy skillet or ridged grill pan with cooking spray and place it over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the pork slices and cook them until they are nicely browned on both sides, taking around 6 to 7 minutes per side. After flipping the meat over, pour the reserved lime juice over it and continue cooking until it reaches a safe internal temperature.
