Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 1 pound each) pork tenderloin
• 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, ground black pepper, salt, and rosemary to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or a large shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for best flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 4

Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and reserve the marinade for cooking.

Step 5

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins for 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 6

Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the pork. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 7

Roast the pork for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Halfway through cooking, spoon some of the marinade over the pork to enhance the glaze.

Step 8

Remove the pork from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve with the pan sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with orange zest if desired.
