A quick and comforting pork tenderloin recipe featuring a sticky, sweet, and savory honey garlic glaze made with just four simple ingredients. Perfect for busy weeknights or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin (450 to 680 grams)
  • 1/4 cup honey (85 grams)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (60 ml), low-sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for searing, not listed but implied)

Instructions

  1. Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the tenderloin. Pat dry with paper towels to ensure good browning. This should take about 5 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce. Set aside.
  3. Heat your skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. When hot, place the tenderloin in the pan and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the pork in the skillet. Lower the heat to medium and let it simmer, turning the tenderloin occasionally to coat it in the sauce. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  5. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices. Then slice into medallions about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Spoon the sticky sauce over the sliced pork and serve immediately.

Notes

If the sauce thickens too fast or starts to burn, splash a little water or broth to loosen it up. Avoid cutting into the pork while cooking to keep it juicy. Let the pork rest after cooking for best tenderness. Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness or substitute with tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free options.
