Ingredients

  • Pork Tenderloin - 400 grams
  • Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Fresh Rosemary - 1 tablespoon, chopped
  • Dijon Mustard - 1 tablespoon
  • Honey - 1 tablespoon
  • Apple Cider Vinegar - 2 tablespoons
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Apples - 1 medium, sliced
  • Onion - 1 small, sliced

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it's well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Remove the pork from the marinade and sear it in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  5. Transfer the seared pork to a baking dish, add sliced apples and onions around it, and drizzle a bit of leftover marinade over the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F).
  7. Once done, let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted apples and onions.
