Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, sweet paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both pork tenderloins.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloins on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer the seared pork to the prepared baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic until well combined.
  • Pour the honey garlic sauce over the pork tenderloins, ensuring they are well coated. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
  • Once done, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Spoon any remaining sauce from the dish over the pork for extra flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite sides like green beans or mashed potatoes!

Notes

  • You can make the dry rub and sauce in advance to save time.
  • Tenderloins sometimes have a tough silver skin that should be removed before cooking.
  • It’s important to let the tenderloins rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This lets the juices redistribute and keeps the pork from drying out.
