Ingredients You’ll Need
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 lbs)

4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste

How to Make Honey Garlic Pork Tenderloin
1. Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
2. Marinate the Pork
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes—or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Cook the Pork
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear the tenderloin on all sides until golden brown—about 2-3 minutes per side.
