To Chili go,

I like food that's slightly spiced like this recipe. Simple rubs using chilies, cumin, paprika, nutmeg, etc. are really fantastic. The best part is that recipes like this one are just as good cold as when they are just off the stove. This pork tenderloin and the Cumin, Black Eyes and Corn Salad are the perfect picnic food.

2 tsp | olive oil |
1 1/2 tsp | paprika |
1 1/2 tsp | dried oregano |
1/2 tsp | chili powder |
1/2 | lime (juiced) |
1/2 tsp | salt |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) | |
1 lb | pork tenderloin |
spray olive oil | |
1/2 cup | low sodium chicken or vegetable broth |
3 tsp | unsalted butter |
In a large mixing bowl combine the olive oil, paprika, oregano, chili powder, salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Add the pork tenderloin and toss to coat well. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Toss the pork a few times to coat well.
Place a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Spray the pan lightly with olive oil. When the pan is hot add the pork tenderloin. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until well seared.
Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for about 15 minutes. Turn the pork at least twice. Adjust the heat to keep the pork from burning.
While the pork is cooking place the chicken stock in the bowl with the marinade and whisk to mix the remaining spices into the liquid.
When the pork is at 140° F internal temperature add the chicken stock and marinade mixture to the pan. Turn the pork in the stock for about one minute and then remove the tenderloin to a cutting board.
Reduce the chicken stock by about half and then add the butter. Whisk until the sauce thickens slightly and turn heat to low.
Slice the pork and place on plates. Top with the sauce and serve.
