Main Ingredients

Seasoning and Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and ground cumin. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Place the pork tenderloin in a zip-lock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Sear the Pork

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and sear it on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).

  3. 5

    Roast the Pork

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  4. 6

    Prepare the Napa Cabbage and Red Onion

    While the pork is roasting, thinly slice the red onion and chop the napa cabbage. In a large bowl, combine the napa cabbage and red onion.

  5. 7

    Toast the Pecans

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for about 5-7 minutes or until fragrant and lightly browned. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Serving

  1. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the rested pork tenderloin and serve it over a bed of napa cabbage and red onion. Drizzle with pineapple amba and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
