Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the pork tenderloin of any silver skin or excess fat. Pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the pork tenderloin all over with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then coat evenly with the spice mixture.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, honey, and soy sauce.
Turn off the heat and pour the broth mixture over the pork tenderloin in the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the pork is resting, place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle the sauce over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
