Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork tenderloins
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the molasses, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the pork is evenly coated with the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat a bit of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and sear them on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork tenderloins for about 20-25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C) for medium rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- While the pork is roasting, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Let it cook for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
- Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced pork drizzled with the warm marinade sauce. Enjoy!
