Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly on all sides.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup honey, 1 medium finely minced jalapeño pepper, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp smoked paprika. Stir well to blend flavors.
  4. Step 4: Brush half of the honey jalapeño glaze over the pork, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  5. Step 5: Remove pork from oven, brush with remaining glaze, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to maintain juiciness.
