2 stalks lemongrass, minced
1 shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced/grated
1 tablespoon galangal (or ginger), grated
1 lime, zest and juice
1 bird's eye chili, minced
2 tablespoons fish sauce (or soy sauce)
2 tablespoons palm sugar (or brown sugar)
1 (2-3 pound) pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup coconut milk
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons palm sugar (or brown sugar)
1 tablespoon chili sauce such as sriracha (or to taste)
2 tablespoons peanuts roasted and chopped

Steps:

Mix the coriander, cumin, turmeric, lemongrass, garlic, galangal, lime zest, lime juice, chili, fish sauce, and sugar and marinate the pork in it overnight, covered, in the fridge.
Heat the oil in a large oven safe pan/skillet over medium-high heat, add the pork and brown on all sides.
Transfer the pan to a preheated 400F/200C oven, roast until the pork reaches 140F, about 10-15 minutes, before setting aside it to rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
Slice and enjoy topped with peanut sauce!
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, add the curry and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
Add everything else, mix well, bring to a simmer and cook until it thickens a bit, about 2-3 minutes.
