Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine apple cider, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in dried thyme, then remove from heat and set aside.
  6. In an oven-safe skillet, sear the seasoned pork tenderloin for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
  7. Brush half of the glaze over the pork tenderloin.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  10. Serve the remaining glaze on the side or drizzled over the sliced pork.
