Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Pork tenderloin (1 pound)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon, divided)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Peaches (2, diced)
  • Red onion (1/2, finely diced)
  • Cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Lime juice (2 tablespoons)
  • Honey (1 tablespoon)
  • Jalapeno (1, seeded and minced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloin to season it evenly.
  3. In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork tenderloin and sear it on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  5. Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
  6. While the pork is resting, prepare the peach salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, honey, jalapeno, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to combine.
  7. Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve with a generous spoonful of peach salsa on top.
