Honey Garlic Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients:

1½ lbs pork tenderloin

3 tbsp honey

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp salt

½ tsp dried thyme (optional)

Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until well combined.

3. Sear the Pork: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

4. Bake: Transfer the seared pork to the prepared baking dish. Brush generously with the honey garlic glaze. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste with the glaze once or twice during baking for extra flavor.

5. Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve with your favorite sides—like roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.

Juicy, tender, and bursting with sweet-savory flavor—this dish is sure to impress every time!
