Brown Sugar Pork Tenderloin

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Combine garlic powder, salt, pepper, chili powder and paprika. Using clean hands, rub spice mixture over tenderloins to coat well.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large pan over medium high heat, and add tenderloins to the pan to brown on all sides (approximately 5-6 minutes total)

Step 4

While browning the pork, combine brown sugar, syrup and butter in a small saucepan. Cook on low, stirring constantly, for approximately three minutes or until smooth.

Step 5

If using an oven safe skillet, leave tenderloins in pan and coat with approximately half of the glaze mixture. If not using an oven safe skillet, transfer tenderloins to a 9x13 glass baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, then cover with half of the glaze mixture.

Step 6

Cover and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees. Remove from oven, remove foil and top with remaining glaze. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 140-145 degrees. Pork will continue to cook, due to carry over cooking, one removed from the oven

Step 7

Remove from oven and allow to rest for ten minutes.
