Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Grainy mustard
• 2 tbsp Pure maple syrup
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Apple, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the grainy mustard, maple syrup, and minced garlic to create the glaze.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and brush the pork tenderloin generously with the maple mustard glaze. Reserve any remaining glaze for later.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

While the pork is roasting, heat a separate nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sliced apple. Sprinkle with thyme leaves and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.

Step 8

Add the chicken broth to the apples and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to create a light sauce.

Step 9

Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into medallions.

Step 10

Serve the pork medallions with the sautéed apples on the side. Drizzle any remaining maple mustard glaze over the top for added flavor.
