Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Red onion, thinly sliced
• 6 Fresh plums, pitted and halved
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme, chopped
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the pork tenderloin with salt, pepper, and ground cinnamon on all sides.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the sliced red onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 5

Add the halved plums to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to caramelize slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and chopped thyme. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 7

Return the pork tenderloin to the skillet, nestling it among the plums and sauce. Pour in the chicken broth.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into medallions.

Step 10

Serve the sliced pork with the plum sauce spooned over the top. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
