Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear the pork 3 minutes per side without moving until the surface is deeply browned.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk maple syrup and Dijon mustard, then pour over the pork and reduce heat to medium.

  5. Step 5

    Cook 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the glaze darkens and an instant-read thermometer reads 140°F in the thickest part.

  6. Step 6

    Rest for 3 minutes, then slice and drizzle with pan sauce.
