Directions
1. How to make this pork tenderloin recipe: Pat dry the pork tenderloins with paper towels and season the meat generously with salt and pepper.
2. In a large dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat and sear the seasoned pork tenderloins until browned on all sides; about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
3. In a bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, garlic cloves, honey, soy sauce, mustard, Sriracha, and oil; whisk until well combined. Pour this mixture over the pork tenderloins in the dutch oven. Add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup low sodium beef or chicken broth to the bottom of the dutch oven.
4. Bring to a simmer and cook the pork tenderloins on low for 30 – 40 minutes, until the internal temperature of the pork tenderloins reaches 145˚F (62ºC). Use an Instant Read Thermometer to check for doneness.
5. Remove the pork tenderloins from the dutch oven and transfer them to a cutting board. Loosely cover the meat with foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the honey garlic pork tenderloins and serve with the sauce on the side. Enjoy! ❤️
