By dmscott52

First tried November 2,2015. Very good and easy.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pound pork tenderloin
• 1 T. olive oil
• 2 T. dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• Salt and pepper to season
• Brown Sugar Dijon Dipping Sauce
• 2 T. Dijon mustard
• 1 to 2 tsp brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add pork tenderloin and brown, about four minutes per side. Remove from heat.

3. Place pork tenderloin in an oven proof pan. Brush the entire pork tenderloin with dijon mustard. Then sprinkle the pork tenderloin with brown sugar all over and press gently with your fingers to make it absorb in.

4. Bake, uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until pork tenderloin is cooked.(160 degrees using meat thermometer) Remove from oven and sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

5. Slice and serve with a Brown Sugar dipping sauce if desired. To make the dipping sauce, simply mix together the dijon mustard and brown sugar. Taste test for desired sweetness.
