Baked Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Get that oven nice and hot so the tenderloin can bake beautifully.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. This will be your seasoning mix that packs a punch!
  3. Rub the seasoning mix all over the pork tenderloin. Make sure it’s evenly coated for maximum flavor!
  4. In an oven-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until it’s golden brown. This is where the magic begins!
  5. Once seared, remove the skillet from heat and brush the tenderloin with Dijon mustard, then sprinkle the chopped rosemary on top.
  6. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the tenderloin for a little extra zing.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This keeps it juicy and tender.
  9. Slice it up and serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
