Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/2 tsp ground ginger to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 1 lb pork tenderloin and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Step 4: Brush the tenderloin generously with half of the coconut-lime glaze, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  5. Step 5: Roast for 15-20 minutes, brushing with remaining glaze halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 145°F and glaze caramelizes slightly.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing to serve juicy, flavorful pork medallions.
