Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
• 0.5 cups orange juice
• 0.25 cups soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, and rosemary to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 4

Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and season it evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet with the seared tenderloin to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

While the pork is roasting, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter for a smooth finish.

Step 8

Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Slice the pork into 1-inch medallions and drizzle the tangy sauce over the top before serving.
