🐖 Ingredients:
-
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1½ lbs)
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
Salt & black pepper, to taste
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp dried thyme
-
½ tsp dried rosemary
For the Glaze:
-
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
-
1½ tbsp honey
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
-
½ tsp paprika
🔥 Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary.
2. Sear the Pork
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet or ceramic roasting dish over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for about 2 minutes per side until lightly browned.
3. Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, mix together mustard, honey, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and paprika. Brush half the glaze over the seared pork.
4. Roast to Perfection
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 18–22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Midway through roasting, brush with the remaining glaze.
5. Rest & Slice
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This keeps the pork juicy and allows the flavors to settle.
🍽️ Serving Ideas:
Serve sliced over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a wild rice pilaf. Drizzle extra pan juices over the top for added flavor.
