Ingredients
  

  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 pounds)
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 TBSP Dijon mustard
  • 1 TBSP soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Take the pork tenderloin out of the package and pat it dry on all sides with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick and allows the glaze to caramelize instead of steam.
    Rub the pork all over with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, garlic powder, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
  3. Place the pork in a 13x9 baking dish.
    Pour about half of the glaze over the top and brush it around to coat the meat.
    Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
  4. Once the pork hits temperature, pull it out and brush the remaining glaze all over the top.
    Put it back in the oven and broil for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize the top.
  5. Let the pork rest for about 10 minutes before slicing into medallions.
    Pour the extra glaze from the bottom of the pan over the meat when serving. Enjoy!
