"So easy and delicious! You can make this recipe with a pork tenderloin, if desired, but the pork loin filet is almost $2 less per pound than the tenderloins. Tenderloins are leaner and smaller which means you’ll get more surface area in contact with the marinade and more flavor. But, the pork loin was excellent all the same. Cooking it on a grill (if you have one available) will add extra smokey yumminess. FYI- Chili powder isn’t all that spicy so don’t be too afraid to use it. It's not nearly as hot as, cayenne pepper. You can let this marinate over night, for extra flavor. The marinade comes together in just a few minutes so you can easily throw it together, and then make the pork later. I got this recipe from Budgetbytes blog."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil with the soy sauce, chili powder, lime juice, and garlic. To get the most juice out of your lime, microwave it for about 20 seconds before cutting it open.
Step 2
Place the pork loin in a large Zip-lock bag, and pour in the marinade.
Step 3
Squish the mixture around to make sure the loin is completely coated, then refrigerate for 1 hour or more.
Step 4
When ready to cook, take the pork loin out of the refrigerator.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 6
Heat a large skillet with the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, over medium-high heat.
Step 7
When the skillet is very hot, and the oil looks wavy on the surface, add the pork loin. (DO NOT discard the marinade yet!).
Step 8
Sear both sides of the pork loin until brown and crispy (about 3-5 minutes each side).
Step 9
After searing both sides of the pork loin, place it on a baking sheet or roasting pan.
Step 10
Baste the loin with the remaining marinade, and place it in the oven.
Step 11
Roast for approximately 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
Step 12
Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
