Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 2 cups Swiss chard
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar to create the glaze.
Brush half of the glaze over the pork tenderloin, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Roast the pork tenderloin for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Halfway through, brush the remaining glaze over the pork.
While the pork is roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the Swiss chard and baby spinach to the skillet. Pour in the water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted and tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Season the wilted greens with a pinch of salt and pepper, then drizzle with lemon juice.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the honey glazed pork tenderloin alongside the wilted greens and enjoy!
