Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1.5 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.

Step 2

Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin. Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Rub the tenderloin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the pork with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

Step 4

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.

Step 6

Brush half of the glaze over the seared pork tenderloin, ensuring it is coated evenly.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet (or the pork tenderloin if using a baking sheet) to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Halfway through roasting, brush the remaining glaze over the pork to build flavor and caramelization.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 10

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
