Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until it develops a golden-brown crust.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork tenderloin for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
While the pork is roasting, prepare the honey butter sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the honey and apple cider vinegar to the melted butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the pork has finished roasting, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle the warm honey butter sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh thyme if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Honeybutter Pork Tenderloin with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes!
