Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
2 pc Pork tenderloin 4 oz each
3 Tbsp South Indian Spiced Rub

Method
Preheat oven to 350 C.
Place a large pan over medium-high heat, and season pan with grapeseed oil until the pan is evenly coated. While heating the pan, dab pork tenderloin with a paper towel and then season with salt & pepper, and rub South Indian Spiced Rub into pork tenderloin. Be generous and ensure the tenderloin is coated evenly.
Carefully place pork tenderloin into pan and sear all sides until it’s caramelized. Place into the oven for approximately 5 minutes before flipping over and continue roasting until the desired doneness is reached. We recommend an internal temperature of 135 F.
