Maple Garlic Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Original recipe from Allrecipes.com. This was a DELICIOUS recipe, especially when the sugar from the honey marinade gets carmelized and creates a somewhat crispy surface on the pork.

 

Ingredients

• 2 tenderloin pieces
• 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
• 1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Steps

1. Mix ingredients together.
2. Marinate for at least 6 hours. 
3. Grill on skillet for 20 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes with marinade sauce on medium heat. 
4. Serve.

Illustrated Steps

1. Mix together Dijon mustard, sesame seed oil, maple syrup and minced garlic together. Place in aluminum foil/container and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight. If I have an opportunity to, I'll flip the tenderloin midway. 

8 hours later...

2. Heat up a skillet on medium heat, place some oil (here is some canola). Place your marinated meats on the skillet. 

3. I put the second pork tenderloin on this skillet (which is particularly large) and I poured the marinade on top. 

4. Flip every 5 minutes until you reach 20 minutes.

What the meat looks like after 5 minutes. 

5. Voila! This is what the pork tenderloin looks like after 20 minutes (and flipping every 5 minutes). You can see the surface of the pork is slightly caramelized and this adds a delicious texture to the pork.
