Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Brown Sugar Mustard Glazed Pork Tenderloin.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, take your pork tenderloin and season it generously with salt and pepper, giving it a good rub to ensure every bite is flavorful.
Step 3
Set the seasoned meat aside for a moment.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine whole grain mustard, light brown sugar, and minced thyme, whisking them together until they form a delightful mixture that’s both tangy and sweet.
Step 5
Now, grab a large sheet of aluminum foil and lay it out on a baking sheet.
Step 6
In the center of the foil, arrange sliced onions in a single layer; they’ll create a lovely bed for the pork.
Step 7
Place the seasoned pork tenderloin right on top of those onions and brush half of your mustard mixture over the meat, letting those flavors soak in.
Step 8
Next, fold the sides of the foil up and over the pork, then double fold the top and ends to create a snug packet, making sure to leave a little space inside for the heat to circulate.
Step 9
Pop this packet into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches a juicy 130°F (55°C).
Step 10
Once it’s done, carefully remove the packet from the oven and, using a sharp knife, cut open the top fold to let the steam escape—watch out for that hot steam! Brush the remaining mustard mixture over the pork for an extra layer of flavor, then return it to the oven and broil for about a minute, just until a beautiful crust forms on top.
Step 11
When it’s ready, take it out and let the tenderloin rest for 10 to 15 minutes; this step is key for juicy slices.
Step 12
Finally, slice it up and serve, enjoying the delicious aroma and flavors that will surely impress everyone at the table!.
