Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat dry 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, and 1 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: Rub the spice mixture evenly all over the pork tenderloin. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Step 3: Sear the pork for 3 minutes on each side until browned, then remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: In a separate small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, and 3 minced garlic cloves.
  5. Step 5: Brush the mustard glaze evenly over the pork tenderloin. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until an internal temperature of 145°F is reached.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and rest pork for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
