Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Pork tenderloin
• 1 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In an oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the orange juice, chicken broth, honey, Dijon mustard, and orange zest to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the dried cranberries and rosemary, then place the seared pork tenderloin back into the skillet. Spoon some of the cranberry mixture over the pork.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with the cranberry orange sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy!
