Ancho Chile Pork Tenderloin with Brussels Sprouts and Squash image

An ancho chile rub serves double-duty in this dinner: it's the sweet and zesty rub for the tenderloin, and the seasoning for the roasted veg.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 limes
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed, quartered
1 large red onion, halved, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1 delicata squash, halved lengthwise, seeded, sliced into 1/4-inch half moons
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped, plus whole leaves for serving
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place racks in top and center of oven; preheat to 425°F. Finely grate 2 tsp. lime zest into a small bowl. Stir in cumin, chile powder, brown sugar, and 2 tsp. salt.
  • Toss brussels sprouts, onion, squash, 2 Tbsp. oil, and half of spiced salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to center rack in oven and roast 10 minutes. Toss and continue to roast until vegetables are browned and cooked through, 10-15 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, rub pork tenderloins with remaining spiced salt and heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear pork on 3 sides until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Turn tenderloins onto remaining side, then transfer skillet to top rack of oven. Roast pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 140°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium, 8-10 minutes (temperature will rise by about 10°F after cooking). Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Whisk sour cream, 2 tsp. lime juice, 1/2 cup cilantro, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl. Spoon some sauce onto plates, then arrange pork over. Top with cilantro leaves, flakey sea salt, and pepper. Serve vegetables and lime wedges alongside.
