Ingredients

• 2 lbs pork tenderloin
• 1 cup apple juice
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp honey

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the apple juice, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper, and honey. Whisk together until well blended to form the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 3

Refrigerate the pork for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully infuse.

Step 4

When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the pork from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Reserve the marinade for basting.

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

While the pork roasts, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the marinade thickens into a glaze.

Step 8

Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle the rosemary mustard apple glaze over the sliced pork, and serve immediately.
