PORK MOJO image

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel
1/2 cup olive oil
2 pork tenderloins (about 2 1/4 pounds)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Puree first 9 ingredients in blender. With machine running, gradually add olive oil. Season mojo with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 cup mojo to small dish; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining mojo into gallon-size resealable plastic bag; add pork and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight, turning bag occasionally. Preheat oven to 375F. Heat vegetable oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade, scraping off excess. Add pork to skillet and sear until brown on all sides, about 1 minute total. Transfer skillet with pork to oven. Roast until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of pork registers 145F, about 20 minutes. Remove pork from oven and tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes (temperature will increase about 5 degrees while pork rests). Warm reserved mojo in small saucepan. Cut pork crosswise on diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer to platter, drizzle with warmed mojo, and serve.
