Honey-Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Plums and Thyme

Ingredients

• Pork tenderloin (1.5 pounds)
• Plums (4 medium, pitted and sliced)
• Fresh thyme (2 tablespoons, chopped)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Honey (3 tablespoons)
• Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring an even coating.
3. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Carefully add the pork tenderloin to the skillet and sear on all sides until browned, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Once browned, remove the pork from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
6. In the same skillet, add the sliced plums and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
7. Stir in the chopped thyme and honey, mixing well to create a fragrant sauce.
8. Return the pork tenderloin to the skillet, nestling it among the plums and sauce.
9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
10. Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pork to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
11. Serve the sliced pork tenderloin drizzled with the luscious plum and thyme sauce from the skillet.
