Ingredients

Scale

For the Pork Tenderloin

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce

  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Garnish

  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the pork tenderloin.
  2. Mix the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
  3. Season the Pork: Rub the spice mixture evenly all over the pork tenderloin, coating it thoroughly to infuse flavor.
  4. Heat the Skillet: Place an oven-safe skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat and add olive oil, letting it heat until shimmering.
  5. Sear the Pork: Add the pork tenderloin to the hot skillet and sear on all sides until it develops a golden-brown crust, enhancing flavor and texture.
  6. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth and well combined.
  7. Add Sauce to Pork: Pour the honey mustard mixture over the seared pork tenderloin in the skillet, distributing it evenly around the meat.
  8. Roast in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) to ensure it is safely cooked yet juicy.
  9. Rest the Meat: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork tenderloin rest for 5 minutes; this allows the juices to redistribute for a moist result.
  10. Serve: Slice the pork tenderloin, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Make sure the pork is at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking throughout.
  • Letting the pork rest after cooking is crucial to retain its natural juices and enhance tenderness.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
