Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apricot jam, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, thyme, and apple cider vinegar.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Remove the skillet from the heat. Brush the pork generously with half of the apricot glaze.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
During the last 5 minutes of roasting, brush the pork with the remaining glaze.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork, arrange on a platter, and garnish with green onions. Serve immediately.
