Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim any silver skin from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 4

Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully coated. Let it marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes or place it in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour if you have time.

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until a golden crust forms, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 6

Brush any remaining marinade over the pork tenderloin, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 7

Roast the pork tenderloin in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.

Step 8

Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps to retain the juices and keep the pork tender.

Step 9

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve immediately. Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
