Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Honey-Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Berries

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
3. Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
4. In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Sear the pork tenderloin in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it’s browned.
5. Pour the reserved marinade over the pork and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
6. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. While the pork is resting, gently toss the fresh mixed berries in the skillet to soak up the remaining sauce.
8. Slice the pork tenderloin and serve it drizzled with the honey sauce and topped with the fresh berries. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For maximum flavor, marinate the pork tenderloin for longer, up to 2 hours.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to the proper temperature without drying it out.
• Let the pork rest before slicing to keep it juicy.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the mixed berries with seasonal fruits like peaches or apples for a different flavor profile.
• Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the marinade for an added depth of flavor.
• For a spicy kick, incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes into the marinade.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic mashed cauliflower.
• A light arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette.
• Roasted seasonal vegetables, like asparagus or Brussels sprouts.
• Quinoa or wild rice for a hearty side.
