Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Grainy mustard
- 2 tbsp Pure maple syrup
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Apple, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the grainy mustard, maple syrup, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Remove the skillet from heat and brush the pork tenderloin generously with the maple mustard glaze. Reserve any remaining glaze for later.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the pork is roasting, heat a separate nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sliced apple. Sprinkle with thyme leaves and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.
Add the chicken broth to the apples and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to create a light sauce.
Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into medallions.
Serve the pork medallions with the sautéed apples on the side. Drizzle any remaining maple mustard glaze over the top for added flavor.
