A sweet and savory pork tenderloin recipe featuring a maple Dijon glaze that’s perfect for weeknight dinners or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin and season it generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and thyme.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium and pour the maple Dijon glaze over the pork, using a spoon or brush to coat it evenly.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top before serving.

Notes

Searing the pork locks in juices and creates a golden crust. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking, and let the pork rest before slicing for optimal tenderness.
