Ingredients

For the Marinade

½ cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

Step‑By‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, black pepper, and salt until well-combined.
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the pork from the marinade, pat dry with paper towels.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Sear the pork tenderloin for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
Pour the reserved marinade over the seared pork in the skillet.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle pan juices over the slices. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired.

Notes

Marinate for at least 2 hours for maximum flavor. Always check the internal temperature for doneness.
