Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • salt and pepper (to season)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. 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 2 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 with brown sugar all over and press gently to help it absorb.
  4. Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. Slice and serve with a dipping sauce made by mixing Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and brown sugar to taste.
