Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (1-1.5 lbs each) pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves minced garlic
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup and set aside.
Rub the pork tenderloins with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season them evenly with the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the tenderloins for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the pork is roasting, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.
Bring the glaze to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the pork has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the oven. Brush the glaze generously over the tenderloins and let them rest for 5-7 minutes.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve with any remaining glaze drizzled on top. Enjoy!
