Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by washing the jalapenos under cold water. Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds if you prefer less heat. Mince the garlic and dice the onion.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the pork tenderloin with salt, black pepper, and cumin. Once the oil is hot, add the pork and sear it on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

  4. 4

    Add Jalapenos and Broth

    Stir in the jalapenos and sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. 5

    Combine and Simmer

    Return the seared pork to the skillet. Cover and let it simmer on low heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

  6. 6

    Finish with Lime Juice

    Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. Squeeze lime juice over the pork before slicing it into medallions. Serve with the jalapeno mixture spooned over the top.
