Ingredients:

2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
4 c warm water
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 pack pork tenderloins, trimmed (comes with 2 pieces, 2–2 ½ pounds total)
3 tbsp butter, sliced into 6 pads
1 c ice cubes
1/4 c kosher salt

SPICE MIX:

1 teaspoon EACH salt, onion powder
1 tablespoon EACH chili powder, garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Herbs:

1/2 teaspoon EACH dried parsley, dried basil, dried oregano, dried thyme

Directions:

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.

Cover the inside of a baking sheet with two sheets of aluminum foil.

Add warm water and salt inside a large resealable bag. Seal and shake it to dissolve the salt.

Add ice, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Shake the bag again until everything is well blended.

Put the pork inside the bag, then shake it again to coat. Leave it to marinate for 20 minutes.

Remove the pork from the bag, then rinse with water to remove the salt. Use paper towels to pat them dry.

In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the Spice Mix. Whisk everything until well combined.

Sprinkle the spices over the pork, then toss to coat.

Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil and allow it to become hot.

Add the pork into the hot skillet, then sear each side for a few minutes until they turn golden brown. Move them onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle basil, parsley, thyme, and oregano over the pork. Toss to coat. Drizzle lemon juice over each pork as well followed by the butter. Wrap with foil.

Bake for about 15 to 25 minutes or until done.

Unwrap and slice into even servings.

Serve and enjoy!
