# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Pork Tenderloin
01 -
2 pork tenderloins (approximately 450 g each)
02 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
03 -
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
04 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
05 -
1 teaspoon dried thyme
06 -
1 teaspoon kosher salt
07 -
0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
08 -
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
→ Honey Garlic Sauce
09 -
120 millilitres honey
10 -
60 millilitres tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos
11 -
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
12 -
6 garlic cloves, minced
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Combine garlic powder, sweet paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic until fully combined. Set aside.
03 -
Evenly sprinkle the dry spice blend over the pork tenderloins and use your hands to thoroughly rub it in on all sides.
04 -
Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins, turning to brown all sides, for approximately 4 minutes in total.
05 -
Remove the skillet from heat. Pour the prepared sauce over the pork and use tongs to turn the tenderloins, ensuring they are fully coated. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre reads 60°C.
06 -
Place the skillet back on the stove after removing the pork to a plate. Cover the meat loosely with foil and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, simmer the sauce over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, reducing until slightly thickened.
07 -
Cut the pork into 1.25 cm-thick slices, arrange on a serving platter, and drizzle with the reduced honey garlic sauce before serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Allowing the pork to rest before slicing preserves juiciness and ensures tender results.
02 -
For a thicker glaze, whisk in a small amount of cornstarch or arrowroot powder to the sauce while reducing.
