Now, I’m going to let you in on my absolute favorite recipe that’s sure to bring your taste buds alive – my delicious Pork Tenderloin with Honey Garlic Sauce. It’s like a symphony of flavors, my friend, that strikes the perfect balance between sweet and savory. Every time I whip it up, I’m hit with a whiff of nostalgia, remembering all the rambunctious family dinners and hearty laughs around the table.
Slapping on an apron, I gather all the ingredients, the elements that will soon harmonize into a mouthwatering feast. I choose a plump, juicy pork tenderloin, honey to add that delectable sweetness, garlic for a smoky punch, and a couple of other secret ingredients – let’s just say, they’re not all food!
Before anything, I preheat the oven. It wouldn’t do if I forgot and ended up having to wait, twiddling my thumbs with a seasoned piece of pork in my hands! Then it’s time for the star performer, the pork tenderloin, to take the stage.
I season it with salt and pepper and sear it till it’s beautifully golden brown. Off it goes into the oven, meanwhile, I sauté some garlic in the same pan, letting the aroma waft through the room. I then add the honey, letting the intensity of the garlic blend with the sweetness. Oh boy, it’s enough to make your head spin!
Then, out comes the pork, resting just a tad before I pour that gorgeous honey garlic sauce drizzling all over. A sight for sore eyes!

- Pop the skillet in your preheated oven and roast the tenderloin for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- While the pork tenderloin is roasting, start preparing the honey garlic sauce.
- In a small saucepan, melt a stick of butter over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic to the saucepan and cook it until it is fragrant.
- Following the garlic, add a third of a cup of honey, a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar, and a tablespoon of dijon mustard.
- Stir the sauce with a whisk and let it simmer until it thickens slightly.
- Once the pork tenderloin is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
