# Steps:
01 -
Set oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) and allow to preheat fully.
02 -
In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour in olive oil. When the oil is hot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring continuously until fragrant.
03 -
Incorporate maple syrup, Dijon mustard, Sriracha, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar into the saucepan. Whisk ingredients together until well blended.
04 -
Allow the mixture to slowly simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly. You should have approximately 1/2 cup of glaze remaining. Remove from heat and reserve.
05 -
Pat the pork tenderloin dry thoroughly using paper towels to remove surface moisture.
06 -
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Apply the spice rub evenly to all sides of the pork.
07 -
Place a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil, then sear the pork tenderloin on all sides for 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown.
08 -
Brush the pork tenderloin with most of the prepared glaze, reserving approximately 3 tablespoons for finishing.
09 -
Transfer the skillet with glazed pork to the preheated oven and roast until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), about 15 to 20 minutes.
10 -
Remove from oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle reserved glaze over sliced pork and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Allowing the pork to rest after roasting helps retain juices for more tender slices.
