Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork tenderloin
- 0.5 cups maple syrup
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloins and season them with salt and ground black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.
Pour the maple syrup mixture over the seared pork tenderloins in the skillet, allowing the glaze to coat the meat evenly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the pork for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Baste the pork with the glaze from the skillet halfway through the cooking time to enhance the flavor.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork into medallions and drizzle with any leftover glaze from the skillet. Garnish with fresh rosemary, if using.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
