Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- 2 tsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Ground paprika
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and maple syrup until well combined. Set aside.
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub it with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Ensure the seasonings are distributed evenly on all sides.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Using a pastry brush or spoon, coat the seared pork tenderloin with the maple mustard glaze.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the pork is roasting, prepare the caramelized onions. Slice the onions thinly.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until the onions are soft and golden brown.
Add the balsamic vinegar and water to the onions. Stir well and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the liquid to evaporate and the onions to become evenly caramelized.
Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and serve topped with the caramelized onions. Enjoy this delicious and healthy Weight Watchers-friendly dish!
