Savory Glazed Tenderloin

Name: Savory Glazed Tenderloin
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: 2 servings.
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons honey; 2 tablespoons butter, melted; 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish; 1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard; 1 pork tenderloin (3/4 pound)

It takes only five ingredients to make this flavorful entree from Edison, New Jersey’s Jane Birch. Very moist and sweet but with a hint of horseradish, this change-of-pace pork goes well with a wide variety of side dishes.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
1 pork tenderloin (3/4 pound)

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the honey, butter, horseradish and mustard. Pour 1/3 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the tenderloin. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 6-8 hours, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
Drain and discard marinade from pork. In a large skillet, brown pork on all sides. Place on a rack in a foil-lined shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

This was an okay recipe. The spices didn't really come through so it was roasted tenderloin. I did not brown the tenderloin but I don't know what difference that would have made except for the color. The meat was still moist.
