Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined. This will be your honey glaze.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork tenderloin and sear it on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Pour the honey glaze over the seared pork tenderloin, ensuring it is coated evenly.
- 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 skillet from the oven and allow the pork to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender bite.
- Slice the pork tenderloin and serve it drizzled with any remaining honey glaze from the skillet.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider marinating the pork tenderloin in a mixture of the honey glaze ingredients for a couple of hours or overnight before cooking.
- Pair this dish with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to complement the sweetness of the glaze.
