Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat dry 1 lb pork tenderloin and season evenly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Step 2: Sear pork tenderloin in the skillet for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crust forms. Remove from heat.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup whiskey, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves until fully combined.
  4. Step 4: Pour the maple whiskey glaze over the seared pork tenderloin, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  5. Step 5: Remove pork from oven and baste once more with the glaze. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute for tender, flavorful meat.
