2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes per side until well browned.

4. Step 4: Brush the glaze generously over the seared pork tenderloin, then transfer skillet to the preheated oven.
5. Step 5: Roast for 15-18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F, basting once more with remaining glaze halfway through.
6. Step 6: Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 5 minutes before slicing to preserve juiciness.
