Ingredients

• 2 pieces (1 to 1.5 lbs each) pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloins dry with a paper towel and trim any excess fat or silver skin, if necessary.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Sear the pork tenderloins for 2 minutes on each side until browned.

Step 6

Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the pork tenderloins in the skillet.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Transfer the pork tenderloins to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

While the pork rests, place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat. Add chicken broth to the skillet and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits.

Step 10

Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 11

Slice the pork tenderloins into 1-inch medallions, drizzle with the sauce, and serve immediately.
