Roast Pork Tenderloin with Citrus, Green Tea, and Spices

Roast Pork Tenderloin with Citrus, Green Tea, and Spices

1/2 C. brewed green tea

1/2 C. red wine

1/4 C. orange juice

1/4 C. lime juice

1 T. grated orange peel

1 T. grated lime peel

1 T. minced garlic

1 T. dijon mustard

1/4 C. chopped fresh cilantro leaves

1 T. chili powder

1 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 lb. lean pork tenderloin

 

Combine all the ingredients except the pork. Add the pork and marinate, covered and refrigerated, at least 2 hours. Preheat oven to 400°F. Drain the pork, reserving excess marinade to use for basting. Place the pork on a rack over a roasting pan. Roast for 25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 160°F and the juices run clear (the pork should be barely pink inside). Turn the pork occasionally and baste with excess marinade. Slice 1/4″ thick to serve.
