This is an easy week night meal that can be morphed into another meal the next night. Try making sandwiches with your favorite BBQ sauce or roll it in a flour tortilla. The seasoning used can be ordered online at Penzeys or MySpiceSage. Your grocery store will have a different brand, but it is very salty and I do not recommend it. The seasoning contains the following ingredients; onion, garlic, black pepper, Mexican oregano, cumin and cayenne pepper.
Ingredients
1 package of pork tenderloin about 2 lbs. – this particular pre-packed tenderloin contained 2 tenderloins
2 tablespoons of adobo seasoning
2 tablespoon of olive oil
1 bottle of beer
Technique
Rub tenderloins with adobo seasoning until evenly coated. You have two options for the searing process. If you have a Dutch oven or something similar use it to sear the meat and transfer it directly to the oven. If you do not, use a skillet and transfer to a baking dish with a lid. In a Dutch oven or a large deep skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Add tenderloins and sear on all sides. Remove seared tenderloins and place on a plate or in a baking dish with a cover. Deglaze the Dutch oven or skillet with the beer to remove any of the pork bits, juices and seasoning. If you are using a Dutch oven place pork back into the Dutch oven. If you are using a skillet, pour contents from skillet over the tenderloins. Cover and place in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for one hour. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve. Ladle the juice over the sliced pork for the added flavor.
