Ingredients

How to Make Sliced Pork Tenderloin with Sauce
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- 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.
- Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Pour in the soy sauce, honey, and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
- Return the pork tenderloin to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top.
- 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).
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing it.
- 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.

- 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.
