Ingredients

  • 500 g/ 1.1 lb pork tenderloin Note
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon hot paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  • Remove the excess fat and the silverskin on the pork tenderloin.
  • Preheat the air fryer, if necessary, and according to the machine's instructions. I need to preheat my air fryer for 3 minutes at 190 degrees Celsius/ 370 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Mix together all the spices.
  • Coat the meat with the oil and rub it well with the spices. Place into the basket.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, flip and cook for 7 more minutes. The cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat pieces. It is best to check that the recommended internal temperature has been achieved by using a meat thermometer. The temperature should be 63-70 degrees Celsius/ 145-160 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature will rise slightly after you remove the meat from the pan, so if you remove it when at 63 C/ 145 F, it will have a temperature of 65 C/ 149 F once you serve it.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes, slice, and serve.

Notes

You can halve a larger piece and serve more people. In this case, increase the quantity of spices as well.
