Rosemary Orange Glazed Roasted Pork Tenderloin Recipe


  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pork Tenderloin

  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 lb each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic (minced)

For the Orange Glaze

  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (about 2 oranges)
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

 


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Pork Tenderloin

  1. Trim and Season: Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloins. Pat them dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Add Flavor: In a small bowl, mix the chopped rosemary and minced garlic with olive oil. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloins.

Step 3: Sear the Pork

  1. Sear: In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit of olive oil. Sear the pork tenderloins for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

Step 4: Make the Orange Glaze

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange zest, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, chopped rosemary, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Thicken Glaze: Let the glaze simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 5: Roast the Pork

  1. Glaze the Pork: Brush some of the orange glaze over the seared pork tenderloins.
  2. Roast: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Brush with additional glaze halfway through cooking.

Step 6: Rest and Serve

  1. Rest: Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute.
  2. Serve: Slice the pork tenderloin and drizzle with the remaining orange glaze. Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
