Step 1
Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear the pork 3 minutes per side without moving until the surface is deeply browned.
Step 4
Whisk maple syrup and Dijon mustard, then pour over the pork and reduce heat to medium.
Step 5
Cook 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the glaze darkens and an instant-read thermometer reads 140°F in the thickest part.
Step 6
Rest for 3 minutes, then slice and drizzle with pan sauce.
