Directions

Prep 10 minCook 20 min

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, pepper, and chopped cilantro to make the marinade. Adjust to taste.
2
Place the pork in a shallow dish and coat thoroughly with the marinade. Let sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate if marinating longer.
3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high until hot. Add the marinated pork and sear on all sides until well browned, about 3–4 minutes per side.
4
Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 145° F, about 10–12 minutes depending on thickness.
5
Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
6
Slice the pork and drizzle with any pan juices before serving.
