Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to create the honey glaze.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork fillets from the skillet and set aside to rest on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, pour in the honey glaze and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the pork fillets to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the fillets, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to coat them well.
Remove from heat and transfer the pork fillets to serving plates. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
