Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Sweet and a little bit salty, this glaze is perfect for any occasion and also goes well with chicken or added to BBQ sauce for yummy ribs.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (for glazing)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp grapeseed or extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Instructions
 

  • Combine marinade ingredients (keep back the extra 2 TB of syrup) and whisk together in small bowl.
  • Cover pork tenderloin with marinade and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F or heat grill to medium high heat.
  • Remove tenderloin from marinade (discard marinade.) Place in roasting pan or directly on grill, brush with remaining maple syrup, and cook uncovered for approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Flip tenderloin over and cook for another 10 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 150 ˚F at the thickest portion of the loin.
  • Remove from oven, wrap loosely in tinfoil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice into medallions.
