Ingredients

• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste

How to Make Sliced Pork Tenderloin with Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork tenderloin and sear it for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
5. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
6. Pour in the soy sauce, honey, and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
7. Return the pork tenderloin to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top.
8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
9. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing it.
10. Slice the pork into thin medallions and drizzle the savory sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to let the pork rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness accurately.
• Marinate the pork in the sauce for an hour before cooking for even more flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
• Add a splash of rice vinegar for extra tanginess in the sauce.
• Mix in some sautéed vegetables, like bell peppers or snap peas, for a one-pan meal.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine rice or brown rice
• Roasted vegetables or stir-fried greens
• Mashed potatoes or creamy polenta
• A fresh garden salad with a light vinaigrette

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pork and sauce in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or microwave it in short intervals until hot.
