Honey & Garlic Pork Tenderloins
Honey & Garlic Pork Tenderloins
It’s not very often that I come across a recipe that I don’t have to make ANY changes to in order to make it Gluten-Free and allergy-friendly for my family, but this recipe needed ZERO changes!!! Plus, it was quick and easy to make AND everyone loved it 🙂 This yummy recipe is for two (2) Pork Tenderloins, making it perfect for a large group and/or leftovers.
I owe a HUGE “Thank You” to Ashley Fehr @thereciperebel.com for sharing this wonderful recipe 🙂
The Tenderloins:
- 2 Pork Tenderloins (approximately 2-2 1/2lbs total) (rinsed & trimmed of most fat (leave a little for flavor))
- 1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil (or Canola Oil (I used Light Olive Oil))
- 1 tsp Seasoning Salt (I used “Castle” brand Seasoning Salt, but any brand will do)
The Honey-Garlic Sauce:
- 2/3 Cup Honey
- 1/4 Cup Chicken Broth (Regular or low sodium – I used “Orrington Farms” Chicken Broth Base & Seasoning because I know it’s Gluten-Free (purchased from Walmart))
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce (Regular or low sodium – I used Tamara for GF)
- 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic (I used the already minced from a jar for ease and speed)
- 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/4 tsp Salt (omit if you’re on a low sodium diet)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Corn Starch
- 1-2 pinches Red Pepper Flakes
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Lightly spray a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
- Rinse both Tenderloins with cold water and pat dry with paper towels; trim majority of fat and place both tenderloins into the prepared baking dish; set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all of the Honey-Garlic sauce ingredients until all of the corn starch is dissolved – I used boiling water to make the Chicken Broth and this helps dissolve the corn starch.
- Carefully pour the sauce around the pork tenderloins – try not to pour the sauce on top of the tenderloins, as it will prevent them from browning.
- Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes (until pork temperature reaches 140 degrees F).
- Remove and lightly cover with foil to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Drizzle sauce over the pork slices before serving.
- Serve with your favorite sides and ENJOY 🙂
