How to prepare roasted pork tenderloin?
The first step to marinate our loin is to prepare all the ingredients, peel and place the garlic cloves in a mortar, add a pinch of salt and crush very well until obtaining a kind of paste and set aside.
In the same way, we also crush the pepper and then mix all the ingredients in a tray or bowl: the bitter and sweet orange juice, the wine, the thyme, the bay leaf, the cumin, the crushed garlic cloves, the salt and the olive oil.
Mix everything very well and pierce the loin on all sides with the tip of a knife before placing in it the marinade.
With the help of the tip of our fingers we can rub a little of the seasoning so that it penetrates better inside the meat. Cover the container with film paper and refrigerate until the next day or at least 30 minutes before cooking (if you do not have a lot of time).
Remove the meat from the refrigerator and seal it in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat until all edges are golden brown.
Then place it on a tray, cover it with aluminum paper and bring it to the oven, preheated at 350 ° F and bake for a period of 30 to 35 minutes, until the internal temperature is 145 ° F (to measure, insert a kitchen thermometer into the thickest portion).
Remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with potatoes, vegetables, rice, fried food or any other side dish of your choice.
