CURRIED PORK TENDERLOINS

2 pork tenderloins, about 1 lb. each
3 Tbsp. curry powder (or a spice rub)*
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 lime wedge (for serving)

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Rub the pork with the curry powder or spice rub.

Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear tenderloins on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Transfer skillet to oven; roast until cooked through (160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), about 19 minutes. Let pork rest 5 minutes.

Slice, squeeze lime juice over slices.

*Use a commercially prepared curry blend; there are many varieties out there, from mild to wild. Or use spices of the American Southwest and serve this pork with barbecued beans and warm tortillas.

Makes 6 servings
