Cumin Mustard Pork Tenderloin
A bit of dry and stone ground mustard, tamarin, and cumin… broiled for 12 minutes and dinner is served! All the delicious flavors and couldn’t be easier!
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 each pork tenderloin (about 1 – 1.25 pounds)
- 1 1/2 tsp tamari (regular soy sauce is fine if gluten isn’t an issue)
- 1 tsp stone ground mustard
- 1 tsp dry ground mustard
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash pepper
Instructions
- Mix the tamarind, mustard, mustard powder, and cumin together in a small bowl until it forms a nice paste.
- Trim the tenderloin and remove the “silver skin”.
- Sprinkle with a little salt and a decent amount of pepper.
- Rub the mustard paste all over the pork tenderloin.
- Broil on high (make sure the meat is a couple, 2 – 3, inches away from the broiler otherwise you’re going to be turning a lot to avoid burning).
- Turn every couple minutes until tenderloin is cooked through and at your desired temperature about 12 minutes. (The recommended temperature is often 145 degrees but I find I like mine a little less cooked)
- Remove from the oven onto a cutting board and tent for 5 – 10 minutes while it finishes cooking and the juices settle.
- Serve by itself, over some greens, rice, with some potatoes, whatever floats you’ve got! Enjoy!
Notes
Pork tenderloin is such a great piece of meat, so fast, delicious, and healthy… just don’t overcook it! I have done quite a few… grilled, sous vide, broiled, however you want! So good and can be seasoned any which way, just pick a cuisine and it’s flavors and go to town! More of a summer dish but this Chipotle Peach Grilled Pork Tenderloin is amazing also! Persimmons are a great winter pairing as well!
