This cut of pork can be very lean, so take care not to overcook it or it will be dry. Ideally, it should still be a little pink in the center.

Ingredients and directions

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 Carlton Farms Pork Tenderloin (about 1-1/2 lb.)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2/3 cup Medjool dates (about 4 oz.), cut into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro plus leaves for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and cook pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 140°F, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing; set aside pan drippings.

  2. Toss dates, orange juice, reserved pan drippings, 3 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spoon relish over pork and top with cilantro leaves.

  3. Do ahead:
    Relish (without pan drippings) can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Add pan drippings just before serving.
