Description
A delicious and easy recipe for Pork Tenderloin with Honey Garlic Sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional for thickening)
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork tenderloin.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork tenderloin and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Pour this sauce over the seared pork in the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the pork from the skillet after cooking, place the skillet back on the stove over medium heat, and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Slice the pork tenderloin and drizzle with the honey garlic sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the pork in the honey garlic sauce for 1-2 hours before cooking.
- You can also substitute chicken or tofu for the pork for a different protein option.
