SWEET AND SOUR HONEY MUSTARD PORK TENDERLOIN

Sweet and Sour Honey Mustard Pork Tenderloin image

I could not get my husband to eat pork loin or roasts. I tried dozens of recipes, but he would just say it was okay but would never want me to make it again. After numerous tries I came up with this, and he likes it, but only if the rub stays on it for 24 hours. Believe me he knows when it doesn't! Now it is a regular on the menu without complaint. I hope others like it.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ cup sweet and sour sauce (such as Kikkoman®), or as needed
3 tablespoons honey
4 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
2 cups water, or as needed

Steps:

Rinse pork tenderloin with cold water, pat dry, and place in a baking dish.
Whisk chili powder, garlic powder, and paprika together in a bowl. Rub mixture all over pork tenderloin until completely covered. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Brush a thin coat of sweet and sour sauce all over tenderloin and let rest for 10 minutes.
Whisk honey and mustard together in a bowl. Brush a heavy coat of honey mustard onto the tenderloin. Pour water into the baking dish to reach a depth of 1/2-inch. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
Cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
