HONEY GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Ingredients

  • ​1/2 cup liquid honey
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1 pork tenderloin (1 lb/0.5 kg)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. To prepare glaze, combine all ingredients except pork in a small non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, whisking frequently, for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Reserve 1/4 cup of glaze to serve with pork; remaining glaze will be used to brush pork during cooking.
  4. Place pork in a non-stick foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Brush pork with half of remaining glaze, rotating to brush all sides.
  5. Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Remove pork from oven.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Brush pork with rest of remaining glaze, rotating to brush all sides.
  7. Continue baking, uncovered, until a meat thermometer registers 160°F, about 20 - 25 minutes.
  8. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
  9. Meanwhile, reheat the 1/4 cup of reserved glaze.
  10. Slice pork and serve drizzled with reserved glaze.

Tip: As an alternative to using the oven, pork may be grilled. Reserve 1/4 cup of glaze to serve with pork; remaining glaze will be used to brush pork during grilling. Sear pork on all sides over medium-high heat on natural gas barbecue. Brush pork with half of remaining glaze, rotating to brush all sides. Grill over low heat until a meat thermometer registers 160ºF, brushing pork with rest of remaining glaze during last 10 - 15 minutes of grilling. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Reheat the 1/4 cup of reserved glaze to drizzle over sliced pork.
