  • Preparation: 25 min
  • Cooking: 30 min
  • Complexity: Easy

Ingredients for 4 people

  • 2 pork tenderloins
  • 15g butter
  • Vegetable oil
  • 2 shallots
  • Mustard
  • 65ml maple syrup

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 180°C (thermostat 6). As a home cook with years of experience perfecting quick weeknight meals, this recipe delivers restaurant-quality results with minimal effort.

Lightly flour the pork tenderloins, then sear them in a hot pan with butter and a splash of vegetable oil until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Finely chop the shallots and add them to the same pan. Stir in 1 tablespoon of mustard and the maple syrup. Simmer, stirring, for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens beautifully.

Return the tenderloins to the pan, coating them in the glaze. Transfer everything to an ovenproof dish and bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.

Rest briefly, then garnish with fresh herbs like thyme for an aromatic finish. Serve hot for a sweet-savory crowd-pleaser.
