Ingredients
1 whole pork tenderloin (about 1.5 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and place it on a cutting board.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, and paprika to create a spice rub.
4. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
5. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the tenderloin, searing it on all sides until browned (about 3 minutes per side).
6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar.
7. Brush the mustard mixture over the seared pork tenderloin.
8. Transfer the skillet with the pork into the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
