Steps

1. 1

   In a glass or metal baking dish, arrange the pork tenderloins without allowing them to touch each other. Transfer the dish to the freezer and chill until the pork is firm to the touch, which should take around 30–60 minutes. This will facilitate slicing later on.

2. 2

   Combine salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, and brown sugar together in a small mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Place the cold pork onto a clean cutting board. If any tenderloins are wider than desired, slice them in half lengthwise. Proceed to thinly slice all tenderloins horizontally into strips that are 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the sliced meat into a spacious bowl and sprinkle the spice mixture over it. Mix thoroughly until the pork strips are evenly coated with the spices.
