Garlic-Honey Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Garlic-Honey Glazed Pork Tenderloin pairs juicy, oven-roasted pork with a glossy sauce that balances sweetness from honey with soy’s depth and a hint of tangy cider vinegar. Chinese five spice and aromatics add warm, fragrant notes that linger in each bite. Serve it for a cozy weeknight dinner or a casual gathering when you want something richly flavored yet unfussy.

Garlic-Honey Glazed Pork Tenderloin
  1. 1

    Assemble all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch baking pan with a wire rack.

  3. 3

    Remove the silver skin and any excess fat from the pork tenderloin.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, salt, Chinese five spice powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the tenderloin all over with the spice mixture, rubbing it on to coat.

  6. 6

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the tenderloin to the rack in the prepared pan.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center registers 140 degrees F (61 degrees C), 20 to 25 minutes.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. The internal temperature will rise to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) or higher.

  9. 9

    Meanwhile, for the sauce, heat the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic in the same skillet. Simmer until the liquid reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes.

  10. 10

    Slice the pork and serve with the warm sauce.
