Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 1 lb halved baby red potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until crisp and golden.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, season 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Step 3: Add pork tenderloin to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until browned all over. Remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Brush the mixture evenly over the pork.
  5. Step 5: Transfer skillet to the oven and roast pork for 12-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. Step 6: Serve sliced pork tenderloin alongside the roasted garlic potatoes, spooning any pan glaze over the top.
