Ingredients
  

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:

  • β…” Cup Honey
  • ΒΌ 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
  • ΒΌ tsp Salt omit if you're on a low sodium diet
  • 1 Β½ Tbsp Corn Starch
  • 1-2 pinches Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions
 

  • 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 πŸ™‚
