Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (1-1.5 lbs each) pork tenderloin
- 6 whole cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons (or to taste) salt
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloins. Pat them dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Peel and mince 2 garlic cloves. Thinly slice the remaining 4 garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, ground paprika, dried thyme, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Pour the prepared marinade over the pork tenderloins in the skillet, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle the sliced garlic over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
Baste the pork with the marinade halfway through cooking to keep it moist and flavorful.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork into 1/2-inch-thick medallions and drizzle with the pan juices. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
