Ingredients:

  1. - medium shallot, chopped
  2. 1 1/4 - garlic clove
  3. 1 1/4 cups - prepared green curry paste
  4. 1 teaspoons - finely grated lime zest
  5. 1 - 14.5 oz can unsweetened coconut milk
  6. 1 tablespoons - agave nectar
  7. 1 tablespoons - fresh lime juice
  8. 1/4 cups - cilantro leaves, plus more for serving
  9. - unsalted, roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas, for serving)
  10. 1/4 cups - soy sauce
  11. 2 tablespoons - fresh orange juice
  12. 1 tablespoons - pure maple syrup
  13. 1 tablespoons - toasted sesame oil
  14. 1 - pork tenderloin (about 11/2 pounds)
  15. 1 tablespoons - grapeseed or vegetable oil
  16. - FOR SAUCE
  17. 1 tablespoons - plus 1/2 cup grapeseed or vegetable oil

Directions:

Combine soy sauce, orange juice, maple syrup, and sesame oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Add tenderloin; close bag, pressing out air. Chill, turning once, 4–12 hours. Remove tenderloin from marinade and pat dry; discard marinade. Season lightly with salt.

Preheat oven to 250°. Heat grapeseed oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Cook tenderloin, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of tenderloin registers 130°, 20–25 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing.

While meat is cooking, heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large saucepan over medium. Cook shallot and garlic, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add curry paste and lime zest and cook, stirring constantly, until paste is slightly darkened in color and very fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add coconut milk, bring to a simmer, and cook until reduced by half, 20–25 minutes. Let curry mixture cool.

Transfer curry mixture to a blender and add agave, lime juice, ¼ cup cilantro, and 2 Tbsp. water; blend until very smooth. With motor running, add remaining ½ cup oil in a steady stream; blend until sauce is thick and emulsified. Transfer to a small saucepan and heat over medium just until warmed through.

Serve pork over sauce topped with cilantro and pumpkin seeds.
