Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub it with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 4

Transfer the skillet with the pork tenderloin to the preheated oven. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely covered with foil, for 5 minutes.

Step 5

While the pork rests, prepare the lemon mustard sauce. Place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey, stirring to combine.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions. Drizzle the lemon mustard sauce over the pork and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
