Ingredients

Pork:

(2) 1-pound pork tenderloins
3 tablespoons avocado oil

Spice Rub:

1 tablespoon coconut sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Glaze:

4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons tamari
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Make the spice rub by adding the coconut sugar, instant coffee, paprika, garlic and onion powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in a small dish. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle the rub over both the pork tenderloins, working the mixture into the meat. Let the tenderloins sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Heat the avocado oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the tenderloins on all sides (about 2 minutes per side). Note, if your pan is too small, sear the tenderloins one at a time. You’re looking for a good crust on the meat. Remove the tenderloins from the heat and set aside.
Make the glaze. Add the minced garlic, honey, tamari, and apple cider vinegar into a measuring cup or small bowl. Mix well.
Add the glaze to the skillet over medium-low heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
Return the tenderloins to the skillet, coating in the glaze, and then place the skillet in the preheated oven.
Roast until a meat thermometer reaches 145°F for medium-rare. This should take about 12 minutes for a rosy center.
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For a beautiful presentation, slice the roast into medallions and serve alongside greens like massaged kale. Drizzle the glaze over the top before bringing the platter to the table.
