Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

• 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 pounds)
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat Oven:: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 2

   Sear the Pork:: Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. In an ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear until all sides are browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

3. 3

   Make the Glaze:: In a bowl, mix together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and thyme.

4. 4

   Glaze the Pork:: Brush the pork with half of the maple syrup mixture.

5. 5

   Roast:: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Halfway through, brush the pork with the remaining glaze.

6. 6

   Rest and Serve:: Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the glaze from the skillet drizzled over the top.
