Test Kitchen Tip
Remove the tough silverskin from the tenderloin or it will shrink and twist as the meat cooks.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°.
Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Sear tenderloin until brown on all sides, 6–8minutes. Add ½ cup broth to skillet, then transfer to oven; roast tenderloin until a thermometer inserted into center registers 145°, 10–15minutes. Transfer tenderloin to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Set skillet aside with drippings.
Combine dates, 3 Tbsp. orange juice, and jalapeño.
Heat skillet with drippings over medium; deglaze with remaining ¼ cup broth, scraping up any brown bits. Add date mixture to skillet and bring to a simmer for 1 minute. Off heat, stir in remaining 1 Tbsp. orange juice, 1 Tbsp. cilantro, and zest; season with salt and pepper.
Top pork slices with relish and remaining 1 Tbsp. cilantro.
