A quick and easy honey mustard glazed pork tenderloin paired with roasted radishes, offering a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors with a tender, juicy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or wildflower)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound radishes, trimmed and halved or quartered
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper all over.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the pork on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  5. Using a pastry brush, apply about half of the honey mustard glaze all over the seared pork.
  6. Toss halved radishes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme or rosemary if using. Spread evenly on a baking sheet or roasting pan.
  7. Place the skillet with pork and the baking sheet with radishes in the oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and radishes are tender with caramelized edges.
  8. Halfway through roasting (around 10-12 minutes), carefully remove the skillet and brush the pork with the remaining glaze.
  9. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  10. Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and arrange on a platter with the roasted radishes. Spoon any pan juices or extra glaze over the top.

Notes

Searing the pork first locks in moisture and creates a crust for the glaze. Apply glaze in two layers during roasting for a sticky, flavorful crust. Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches 145°F internal temperature. Rest pork for 5-10 minutes before slicing to retain juices. Roasting radishes mellows their bite and brings out sweetness. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently.
