Sweet and Spicy Pepper Pork
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup hot pepper jelly
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2
Combine chili powder, black pepper, ground cumin, and salt in a small bowl and whisk them together until well mixed.
3
Rub the spice mixture all over the surface of the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
4
Place the pork tenderloin in a shallow roasting pan to allow for even cooking.
5
Roast the tenderloin in the preheated oven until it reaches a safe internal temperature, about 30 minutes.
6
Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the tenderloin, aiming for 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).
7
In a separate saucepan, gently heat the pepper jelly and balsamic vinegar over low heat until the jelly has fully dissolved, taking about 1 to 2 minutes.
8
Brush the pepper jelly mixture all over the pork tenderloin, making sure it is evenly coated.
9
Continue to roast the tenderloin for an additional 5 minutes, or until the jelly coating is hot and bubbly.
10
Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin pieces.
