    How to Make Pork Tenderloin a la Mexicana

    1. Roast and Steam Poblano Chiles

    Roast the poblano chiles over an open flame or under a broiler, turning occasionally, until blistered and blackened. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let steam to make peeling easier.

    2. Brown Pork Cubes

    Pat the pork cubes dry, sprinkle with salt, and then brown in a skillet with oil over medium-high heat. Remove from skillet and set aside.

    3. Cook Onion and Add Garlic and Chiles

    In the same skillet, add sliced onion and cook until soft. Stir in chopped garlic and sliced chiles.

    4. Add Tomatoes and Simmer Sauce

    Add drained tomatoes to the skillet along with beef broth or a water and Worcestershire sauce mixture. Include epazote or cilantro and cook to thicken the sauce.

    5. Finish Cooking Pork

    Return the browned pork to the skillet and simmer in the sauce until pork is cooked to a slightly rosy interior.
