Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large pork tenderloin, silverskin removed
2 tsp chipotle chili powder, or as needed
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 c white onions, minced
2 Tbsp serrano peppers, minced
2 Tbsp fresno chili peppers, minced
1 large clove garlic, pressed
3/4 c low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/3 c blue agave tequila
1/4 c freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 Tbsp agave nectar, or more to taste
1/3 c 35% heavy cream
2 Tbsp cold butter
1 Tbsp chopped cilantro, for garnish
2-4 lime wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
  • 2. Season tenderloin evenly with chipotle chili powder until entirely coated; set aside.
  • 3. In an oven-proof skillet over high heat, add oil and when it starts shimmering, add pork and sear it until brown, about 1 ½ to 2 minutes.
  • 4. Flip it over and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 18 to 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 140ºF.
  • 5. Remove from the heat and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Place foil on top forming a tent and let it rest for 20 minutes while making the sauce.
  • 6. In the same skillet, remove extra fat using paper towels leaving about 1 ½ tbsp. Turn the heat to medium and when it gets hot, add onions, serrano and fresno peppers; sauté until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for only 1 minute.
  • 7. Pour in chicken broth and deglaze the skillet by scraping the bottom of the pan to dislodge any brown bits.
  • 8. When the mixture is warm again, add cumin, tequila, orange juice, agave nectar and heavy cream. Whisk the ingredients very well and cook until the sauce thickens, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • 9. When consistency is reached, turn off the heat and add cold butter. Swirl it around until incorporated.
  • 10. Slice pork tenderloin and transfer to warm serving plates. Spoon sauce over and sprinkle on some chopped cilantro; add one lime wedge per plate.
