How to make Brown Sugar Dijon Pork Tenderloin

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.

Step 2: On both sides, season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork tenderloin and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until browned. Take off the heat when done.

Step 3: In an oven-proof pan, transfer the pork tenderloin and brush with Dijon mustard. Over the tenderloin, sprinkle the brown sugar, gently pressing using your fingers.

Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, uncovered, until the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin reaches 145 degrees F. When done, take the pan out of the oven and allow the tenderloin to sit for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 5: Slice the tenderloin. If desired, serve with a Brown Sugar Dijon dipping.

To make the Brown Sugar Dijon dipping sauce: Whisk the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and brown sugar. Adjust the taste according to preference.
