Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Trim any silver skin off the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
Rub the pork tenderloin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season it evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground mustard.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until a golden-brown crust forms, about 2-3 minutes per side.
While the pork is searing, prepare the honey mustard vinaigrette by whisking together honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
Once the tenderloin is seared, drizzle half of the honey mustard vinaigrette over the pork.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145Β°F (63Β°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle with the remaining honey mustard vinaigrette before serving.
Serve with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
