Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Trim any visible fat from the pork tenderloins.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture all over the pork tenderloins, coating them evenly.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, tomato paste, and liquid smoke until well combined.

Step 6

Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking and place the tenderloins inside.

Step 7

Pour half of the sauce mixture over the pork tenderloins, ensuring they are covered.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil, pour the remaining sauce over the pork, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the pork rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 11

Slice the pork, serve with remaining sauce drizzled on top, if desired.
