Honey Dijon Garlic Roasted Pork Tenderloin
Description
Honey Dijon Garlic Roasted Pork Tenderloin starts with a coating of Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper rubbed thoroughly over 2 pounds of pork tenderloin. The pork is seared on all sides in an oven-safe skillet over high heat to develop a caramelized crust. After searing, the skillet is transferred to a 400°F oven to roast the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, about 10-15 minutes.
The searing step creates a flavorful outer layer, while roasting inside ensures even cooking and juicy interior. The honey and mustard contribute sweetness and tang, balancing the savory garlic. Letting the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing lets juices redistribute, keeping the tenderloin moist.
This tenderloin works well as a main entrée served with roasted vegetables, grains, or salads. The robust glaze makes it suitable for casual dinners or special occasions that call for a straightforward, well-balanced pork dish.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard whole grain
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a cast iron skillet or oven safe skillet to high heat. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together dijon mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub each pork tenderloin with the sauce until thoroughly coated.
- Pour olive oil into the skillet. Sear tenderloins on each side, using tongs to turn. Use any remaining sauce to coat the pork again. Once the outside is seared, slide the skillet into the preheated oven and roast until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
