Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1 cup dark beer (e.g., stout or porter)
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beer, maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary to create the marinade.
Season the pork tenderloins with salt and pepper and place them in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it's fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the liquid, and sear the tenderloins on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the pork and bring it to a simmer. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
While the pork is resting, place the skillet with the marinade over medium heat and simmer until the liquid reduces into a thick, glossy glaze, about 5 minutes.
Slice the pork into medallions and drizzle the glaze over the top before serving. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes!
