Recipe by Melissa Rubel
Since pork tenderloin is low in fat, it tends to dry out, so be careful not to overcook it — this recipe needs just 20 minutes in the oven. Melissa Rubel serves a stellar honey mustard alongside it to add moistness and sweet-spicy
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. mustard seeds
- 1 tbsp. fennel seeds
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 2 pork tenderloins
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 c. grainy Dijon mustard
- 1/4 c. traditional Dijon mustard
- 1/4 c. honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 °. In a mortar, lightly crush the mustard and fennel seeds with the crushed red pepper. Set the pork tenderloins on a rimmed baking sheet and season them with salt and pepper. Spread the crushed spices on the baking sheet and roll the pork tenderloins in the crushed spices to coat them.
- Roast the pork tenderloins for about 20 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of each tenderloin registers 145 °. Transfer the pork tenderloins to a cutting board and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the mustards with the honey and season with salt and pepper. Slice the pork 1/2 inch thick and serve with the honey mustard.
