Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin (500–600g)
- 2 tbsp Miami Mojo seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 orange
- Juice of ½ lime
- 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
Optional
- Fresh coriander
- Extra lime wedges for serving
Directions
Preparation: Season the Pork
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with kitchen paper.
Rub with olive oil and coat evenly with Miami Mojo seasoning.
In a small bowl mix the orange juice, lime juice and garlic, then pour over the pork.
- Allow to marinate for 15–30 minutes if time allows.
Cook: Oven Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Place the pork on a roasting tray and cook for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 63–65°C.
- Allow the pork to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Cook: BBQ Method
- Cook the pork over medium indirect heat for around 18–22 minutes, turning occasionally.
Finish briefly over direct heat to develop light caramelisation.
What to Look for at the Finish
The pork should be lightly golden on the outside.
When sliced, the centre should be slightly blush pink and juicy.
- The internal temperature should reach 63–65°C before resting.
