🥘Ingredients

For the Pork

1 pork tenderloin (about 1.5 lbs)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

For the Glaze

1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground ginger

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2Season the pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper on all sides.
3Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
4Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5While the pork is searing, prepare the glaze by whisking together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger in a small bowl.
6Once the pork is browned, brush the glaze generously over the pork.
7Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
8Baste the pork with the glaze every 5 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
9Remove from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
10Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
11This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy and tender result.
12Slice the pork into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve with any remaining glaze drizzled over the top.
