chocolate glazed pork tenderloin

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp Mölli Oaxaca Marinade
  • 1/2 ounce bittersweet chocolate with orange or plain

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Heat a large nonstick frying pan. Add canola oil. Season pork tenderloin with salt and pepper and place in pan. Cook 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove pork and place in an ovenproof baking dish.
  3. Combine 1/2 cup of the chicken broth, Oaxaca marinade, and chocolate in a small saucepan. Simmer on low until chocolate melts. Continue to simmer until glaze thickens slightly – about 5 minutes.
  4. Using a pastry brush, brush glaze onto pork, place in oven and cook 4 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with additional glaze and return to oven for 4 additional minutes. Repeat once more. (Pork is done when a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 160F.) Remove pork from oven, reglaze and allow to sit for 2-3 minutes.
  5. To serve, slice pork into 12 even pieces and divide among 4 dinner plates. Provecho!

TIP: Save any leftovers for an amazing torta the next day. Simply slice as thinly as you can the pork tenderloin, add some sliced tomatoes, onions, avocado and chipotles in adobo.
