Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim the pork tenderloin of any silver skin or excess fat. Pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the pork tenderloin all over with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then coat evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, honey, and soy sauce.

Step 7

Turn off the heat and pour the broth mixture over the pork tenderloin in the skillet.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

While the pork is resting, place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 11

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle the sauce over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
