Description

This Juicy and Tender Pork Tenderloin Roast is an easy, flavor-packed dish with a sticky garlic and herb glaze that forms a golden crust while the inside remains incredibly moist. It’s the perfect centerpiece for weeknight dinners or special occasions.


Ingredients

2 pork tenderloins (about 1 lb each)

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

3 tablespoons honey or brown sugar

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme or a few fresh sprigs

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, honey or sugar, vinegar, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Pat the pork dry and marinate in the mixture for at least 1 hour, ideally up to 6 hours.
  3. (Optional) Sear pork in a hot skillet with oil on all sides until golden brown.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer pork to a baking dish and pour leftover marinade on top.
