Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim any visible fat from the pork tenderloins.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork tenderloins, coating them evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, tomato paste, and liquid smoke until well combined.
Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking and place the tenderloins inside.
Pour half of the sauce mixture over the pork tenderloins, ensuring they are covered.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil, pour the remaining sauce over the pork, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the pork rest for about 5 minutes.
Slice the pork, serve with remaining sauce drizzled on top, if desired.
