Mix together all of the ingredients for the dry rub and rub evenly over your pork tenderloin. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
2 pork tenderloin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp dry mustard, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper
Preheat oven to 350 °F
Add oil to your skillet and brown pork tenderloin on all sides until you get a nice crust. This should take approximately 5 minutes per side.
1 tbsp olive oil
Meanwhile, combine the maple syrup, vinegar and soy sauce in a small bowl and mix well.
½ cup maple syrup, 3 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 2 tbsp soy sauce
Once your pork has been browned on all sides, transfer it to a baking dish. To the skillet add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the liquid and use a spatula to help deglaze your pan (that is, use your spatula to scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of your pan). Transfer your pork back to your pan and turn it to coat it on all sides with the glaze.
2 tbsp chopped garlic
Return the pork to the baking dish and pour the glaze over the tenderloin in the pan. Bake in the middle rack of your oven for approximately 15 - 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 °F
Transfer your pork to a cutting board and allow to rest for approximately 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pour the liquid from the baking pan into your skillet and cook, stirring regularly, over medium heat until it thickens. Your glaze is ready when you can coat the back of a spoon with it.
Pour glaze over your pork tenderloin and serve. Enjoy!
