Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 3–4 medium carrots, cut into chunks
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Take the pork out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter for about 15 minutes.
  2. Wash and cut potatoes into halves or quarters, chop carrots into 2-inch chunks, cut broccoli into florets, and wedge the red onion. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary sprigs. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, sear the pork for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown (about 8-10 minutes total).
  6. Pour the honey garlic glaze over the seared pork. Use tongs to roll the tenderloin in the glaze, coating completely. Cook for another minute, spooning glaze over the top.
  7. Arrange the seasoned vegetables around the pork in the skillet. Tuck rosemary sprigs in between.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Vegetables should be tender and caramelized.
  9. Remove the skillet from the oven. Transfer pork to a cutting board and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  10. While the pork rests, return the skillet with vegetables to the warm oven (turned off) to keep warm.
  11. Slice the pork into 1-inch thick medallions. Arrange on a platter with roasted vegetables. Spoon any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

If the glaze starts to look too dark in the oven, tent the pork loosely with foil for the last 5 minutes. For extra sauce, double the glaze and reserve half before it touches the raw pork. Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
