Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, olive oil, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning until a smooth paste forms.
3. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it lightly with salt and black pepper on all sides.
4. Generously rub the brown sugar garlic mixture all over the pork tenderloin, making sure it’s evenly coated.
5. Place the coated pork tenderloin in the prepared baking dish or oven-safe skillet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
6. Remove the Brown Sugar Garlic Pork Tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork. The ideal doneness is 145°F for a tender, juicy texture.
For a deeper caramelized crust, sear the pork tenderloin in a hot skillet with a bit of oil before baking.
Experiment with different herb and spice combinations to customize the flavor profile.
