Pork Tenderloin Recipe
Ingredients:
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
¼ cup honey 🍯
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions:
Prepare the Pork: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Sear the Pork: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Make the Honey Garlic Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
Glaze & Bake: Pour the glaze over the pork and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, basting the pork with the glaze every 5 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Rest & Serve: Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with extra glaze and serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
Enjoy!
