Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloins and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork tenderloins.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown all over.
While the pork is searing, prepare the glaze by whisking together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Once the pork is seared, brush the glaze generously over the tenderloins.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the tenderloin reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
Slice the pork into medallions and arrange on a serving platter. Spoon any remaining glaze from the skillet over the slices.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
