Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)

  • Salt and black pepper, to season

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Cherry Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup Cherry Mustard Marinade

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

  • fresh parsley or microgreens for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper, ensuring it is evenly coated.
3. Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloin and sear it on all sides until browned. This will lock in the juices and add flavor. This process should take around 5 minutes.
4. While the pork is searing, prepare the cherry glaze. In a small bowl combine the Cherry Mustard Marinade, honey, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
5. If you prefer a thicker glaze, you can heat cherry mixture in a small saucepan. If you prefer a thicker glaze…add cornstarch with a small amount of water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the simmering cherry glaze, stirring well. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
6. Remove the seared pork tenderloin from the skillet and place it on a baking sheet or in an ovenproof dish. Pour half of the cherry glaze over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated.
7. Place the pork tenderloin in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the tenderloin, so it's advisable to use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
8. Once the pork is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
9. Before serving, pour the remaining cherry glaze over the pork tenderloin or use it as a dipping sauce. The glaze will add a sweet and tangy flavor that perfectly compliments the juicy pork.
10. Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve it hot, garnished with some fresh sweet cherries as an optional decorative touch and parsley or microgreens for a touch of freshness.
