Ingredients
1 lb Pork Tenderloin
Rub:
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp fresh thyme, minced
1 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
1 tbsp garlic salt
1 tbsp garlic pepper
Honey garlic sauce:
1 tbsp garlic, minced
½ c. honey
⅓ c. brown sugar
½ c. light soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water for slurry
⅓ c. orange juice
How to make Honey Garlic Roasted Pork Tenderloin
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: After removing the fat from the pork, puncture the pork in a few places using a fork.
Step 3: In a small bowl, place the rub ingredients. Mix well until blended, then spread this all over the pork, pressing firmly.
Step 4: Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the pork and sear until just brown. Flip and sear the other side for about 2 minutes.
Step 5: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes.
Step 6: Whisk the honey garlic sauce in a small saucepan except for the cornstarch and water. Stir and bring the mixture to a slight boil.
Step 7: To make the slurry, mix the cornstarch and water. Pour this into the sauce and stir until a little thickened. Take off the pan and set aside.
Step 8: With the honey garlic sauce, baste the pork. Set the oven to “HI” broil and broil the pork for about 3 minutes until the sauce is caramelized.
Step 9: Before serving, allow the pork tenderloin to rest for about 5 minutes, covered. Then, slice and garnish with rosemary and some fresh chopped thyme. Enjoy!
