Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Season 1 lb pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup dark rum, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 3 minced garlic cloves until smooth.
3. Step 3: Pour the rum glaze over the seared pork tenderloin and transfer skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F, basting pork with glaze halfway through.
4. Step 4: While pork roasts, prepare mango chutney by combining 1 cup diced mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes (optional) in a bowl. Mix well and season with salt to taste.
5. Step 5: Remove pork from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve topped with fresh mango chutney for a vibrant Caribbean-inspired dish.
