Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb pork tenderloin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, soy sauce, and garlic powder to create the glaze.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Brush about half of the maple Dijon glaze over the top of the pork tenderloin.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  8. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C).
  9. Brush with the remaining glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  10. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, prepare the glaze and trim the pork the day before.
  • You can substitute honey for maple syrup if needed.
  • Ensure your skillet is oven-safe before proceeding.
