Ingredients
 

  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 - 1 1/4 lb each)

For the rub:

  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried sage

For the sauce:

  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 3 large cloves garlic (minced)
  • Neutral oil (to coat)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Use a sharp knife to trim the pork tenderloins of any excess fat and silverskin. This great video shows you how to quickly trim a pork tenderloin for cooking.
  • Whisk together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sage, then rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the meat.
  • In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, dijon, and garlic. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large oven safe skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the pork tenderloins and brown, undisturbed, for 2-3 minutes, or until the pork easily comes loose from the pan. Flip the meat over and brown another 2 minutes. Add the garlic, and saute just 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  • Pour the sauce around the sides of the pork tenderloin. Flip the tenderloins over a final time, then place in the oven.
  • Bake the pork for 13-17 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers at least 145 degrees. Remove the pork to a plate, tent with foil, and allow to rest while you prepare the sauce.
  • Return the pan with the honey sauce and meat juices to the stove top. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium low heat, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Slice the tenderloin and serve with plenty of honey garlic sauce.

Notes

  • Cast iron, enameled skillets, or a chicken fryer or dutch oven work best for this recipe.
  • When cooking down the sauce, moisture boils off quickly. Stir constantly and don't overcook to avoid burning the sugars in the honey. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
