  • ½ cup honey mustard dressing store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard optional, for extra tang
  • 1 tbsp honey optional, for added sweetness
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp dried thyme or 1 tsp fresh

Instructions
 

Marinate the Pork:

  • In a bowl, mix the honey mustard dressing, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  • Place the pork tenderloin in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it.
  • Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for more flavor).

Cook the Pork:

    Oven Method:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
    • Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
    • Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

    Grill Method:

    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
    • Grill the pork for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until it reaches 145°F (63°C) inside.
    • Let it rest before slicing.

    Serve:

    • Slice the pork and drizzle with extra honey mustard dressing if desired. Serve with roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
