Preparation
Step 1
First, prepare all the necessary ingredients. You can use any cut of pork (ham, tenderloin, loin, neck, etc.). Here we use tender, soft tenderloin.
Step 2
Rinse the pork tenderloin, pat it dry, and cut into slices about ½-⅔ inch (1-1.5 cm) thick. If desired, lightly pound the slices with a meat mallet.
Step 3
Wash the oranges thoroughly. Squeeze the juice from one orange - a juicer works best. You can use store-bought juice instead.
Step 4
Peel the second orange and cut it into thin rings.
Step 5
Place the pork slices in a bowl. Sprinkle with paprika and rosemary. Pour in the orange juice. Mix the meat well and let it marinate for 20-30 minutes. You can add or substitute other spices to your taste.
Step 6
Arrange the orange slices in a single layer in a baking dish.
Step 7
Place the marinated pork with the marinade on top of the oranges in one layer. Drizzle with vegetable oil, a bit of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30-40 minutes, occasionally spooning the juices from the bottom of the dish over the meat. Baking time depends on the pork cut, size of the pieces, and your oven - don’t overcook it to keep the meat juicy.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked pork to a plate along with the orange slices. Pour some of the pan juices over the top, garnish with herbs, and serve with your favorite side dish. Bon appétit!
