Sticky Apricot Pork Tenderloin
We love this sticky apricot pork tenderloin! It's so tender and juicy, topped with a sticky apricot sauce and packed with flavor. Perfect to serve on a weeknight or even a fancy holiday. Goes with just about any side!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin, (this is usually 2 filets)
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 (13 ounce) jar apricot preserves
- ΒΌ cup water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pat the pork tenderloin dry with a paper towel. Season it all over liberally with salt and pepper. Season it with garlic powder and smoked paprika.
- Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloin and seared on all sides until deeply golden brown.
- While searing, whisk together the preserves and water. Pour the mixture into the skillet and let it bubble up. Reduce it to the simmer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 15 minutes, then take the internal temperature. I like mine to be at at least 155 degrees F.
- Remove the pan and let the pork rest for a few minutes. Spoon the apricot preserves in the pan over top to serve!
