Honey & Garlic Pork Tenderloins
Jump to RecipeIt'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 π 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 π
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 π
