Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp olive oil. Season 1 lb pork tenderloin with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then place it in the skillet. Sear for 4 minutes on each side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Step 2: While the pork cooks, combine 1 cup diced ripe mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 1 small finely chopped jalapeño in a bowl. Stir gently until well mixed.
- Step 3: Remove the pork from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork topped with the fresh mango salsa for a balance of savory and bright flavors.
