Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (1 to 1.5 lbs each) Pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Whole grain mustard
- 1.25 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Place the pork tenderloins on a clean surface and trim any silver skin if necessary.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly across both tenderloins, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for enhanced flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides (about 3 minutes per side) until golden brown. Do not cook all the way through.
Transfer the skillet with the seared tenderloins to the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the tenderloins to a cutting board. Let rest for 5–10 minutes.
While the pork rests, prepare the pan sauce by placing the skillet back on medium heat.
Stir in the whole grain mustard and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and release flavorful bits.
Add the butter and honey to the sauce, whisking to combine and melt the butter.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk it into the sauce to thicken, cooking for 1–2 minutes.
Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and serve drizzled with the pan sauce.
