Ingredients
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1.5 lb. pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2-3 cloves garlic minded
- 1-2 teaspoons honey
- 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together both paprikas, thyme and 1 teaspoon salt. Massage the spice mixture into the pork and let stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
- In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and brown on all sides. Transfer the pork to the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees.
- Transfer the pork to a large plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the honey and stir for 30 seconds more.
- Pour in the chicken broth. Cook and stir until sauce is slightly reduced and thickened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, then stir in the butter, once tablespoon at a time. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut the pork tenderloin into 1/2 inch slices and spoon the sauce over the pork. Serve immediately.
