US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. In an ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear until all sides are browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • In a bowl, mix together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and thyme.
  • Brush the pork with half of the maple syrup mixture.
  • Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Halfway through, brush the pork with the remaining glaze.
  • Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the glaze from the skillet drizzled over the top.

Notes

  1. Pork Tenderloin Size: This recipe is versatile for different sizes of pork tenderloin. If your tenderloin is larger or smaller than the average 1 to 1.5 pounds, adjust cooking times accordingly.
  2. Oven Temperatures: All ovens vary, so keep an eye on your pork, especially towards the end of the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  3. Resting the Meat: Allow the pork to rest for 5-10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the juices redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful.
  4. Glaze Variations: Feel free to tweak the glaze to your liking. Add more maple syrup for sweetness, or more mustard for a tangier flavor.
