Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
- 0.5 cups apple butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it with salt and black pepper on all sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple butter, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and chopped rosemary. Set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork tenderloin in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
Turn off the heat and spread the minced garlic over the pork tenderloin.
Brush the apple butter mixture generously over the pork, ensuring it is well coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the tenderloin rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the tenderloin into medallions and spoon any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top before serving.
