STEP 1:

  

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

STEP 2:

  

Sprinkle the chili powder evenly on the tenderloin and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired. Press the seasonings onto the pork to allow seasonings to adhere. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until hot. Coat the skillet with Smart Balance® Buttery Spray, cook the pork 3 minutes, turn and cook 2 minutes or until richly browned.

STEP 3:

  

Place the pork on a baking sheet, cook 15 to 17 minutes or until the pork reaches internal temperature of 155 degrees F when tested with a meat thermometer. Let stand on baking sheet 5 minutes before thinly slicing.

STEP 4:

  

Meanwhile, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan, cook over medium heat until warm, do not boil. Pour sauce onto a serving platter, arrange the pork slices on top of the sauce.
