Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 (12 oz. each) pork tenderloins
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- salt, kosher preferred
- ground black pepper
- 1 (10-12 oz) jar apricot jam
- 1/2 cup spicy brown mustard or Dijon whole grain mustard
Instructions
- Heat the broiler with rack 4 inches from the heat. Line a baking sheet with foil. Rub the pork with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Broil for 10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the apricot jam and the spicy brown mustard. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, and remove from heat. Transfer half of the glaze to a small bowl to brush on meat before broiling and cover the saucepan to keep the reserved sauce warm for serving.
- Remove pork from the broiler and brush with half of the prepared glaze. Continue broiling for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the pork is blackened in spots and the thermometer reads 145-150°F. Remove from oven.
- Cover loosely; let rest for 5 minutes. Brush with a little of the reserved glaze before slicing. Serve the pork with the reserved warm sauce. This recipe was adapted from Everyday Food.
Notes
- Dijon mustard, whole grain Dijon mustard, or half of each can be substituted for the spicy brown mustard.
- Peach jam is a great substitute for the Apricot jam.
