Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces pork tenderloins Look for firm and pinkish cuts.
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup Can be substituted with honey.
  • 1 whole orange (zest and juice) Fresh orange adds vibrant flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard For a bit of tanginess.
  • 1 clove garlic (minced) Can be substituted with garlic powder.
  • to taste black pepper Adjust according to preference.
  • to garnish fresh rosemary Adds a lovely visual touch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, orange zest, juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper.
Cooking
  1. Place the pork tenderloins in a baking dish and generously apply the glaze, coating them evenly.
  2. Transfer to the preheated oven and roast for about 18-22 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  3. Baste with remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
Finishing Touch
  1. Once cooked, allow the tenderloins to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  2. Slice the pork into medallions and garnish with fresh rosemary.

Notes

Ensure proper internal temperature to avoid overcooking. Let the pork rest after roasting for juicy results. For variations, consider using thyme or sage as alternatives to rosemary.
