Here’s a delicious recipe for Rosemary Orange Glazed Roasted Pork Tenderloin:
Ingredients:
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 to 1.5 pounds each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, orange zest, orange juice, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce (or tamari), and balsamic vinegar to make the glaze.
- Season the pork tenderloins generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once the pork tenderloins are browned, brush them generously with the prepared glaze, reserving some glaze for later.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork tenderloins for about 15-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or 160°F (71°C) for medium, on a meat thermometer.
- While the pork is roasting, you can brush them occasionally with more glaze to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Once the pork is cooked to your desired doneness, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with any remaining glaze drizzled over the top. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and orange slices if desired.
