An easy oven-finished pork tenderloin with a sweet and tangy maple Dijon glaze. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a holiday main course.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb pork tenderloin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
  3. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Pour the maple mustard glaze over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  7. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, you can prepare the glaze and marinate the pork for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator before cooking.
  • This recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
  • Ensure your skillet is oven-safe before using it for both searing and roasting.
