METHOD
Why It Works
Maple and Dijon caramelize into a sweet-tangy glaze as the tenderloin roasts. Searing first gives it color before the glaze goes on.
Ingredients
Protein
• 1 ½ lb pork tenderloin
Seasoning
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
Sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Topping
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
How to Make It
1
Heat the oven to 425°F.
2
Pat the tenderloin dry and season with salt and pepper.
3
Whisk maple syrup, Dijon, garlic, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
4
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high and sear the tenderloin on all sides.
5
Brush with half the glaze, transfer to the oven, and roast 18 to 20 minutes until it reaches 145°F, brushing again halfway.
6
Rest 5 minutes.
7
Slice, drizzle with the remaining glaze, and top with parsley.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start cooking.
Real maple syrup?
Yes, pure maple syrup gives the best flavor; pancake syrup is sweeter and thinner.
What mustard works?
Dijon for tang; whole-grain adds texture.
What should I serve with it?
Roasted sweet potatoes, rice, or green beans.
Quick Fixes
Glaze burning: brush it on in the last 10 minutes.
Tenderloin dry: pull at 145°F and rest.
Glaze too thin: simmer the extra to brush on at the end.
