Ingredients
  

1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed and sliced into 1-inch thick medallions

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt, to taste

Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Medallions: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and black pepper. Season with salt to taste. Place the pork medallions in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, pouring the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld (up to 2 hours is ideal for a richer flavor).

    Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C).

      Sear the Medallions: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Take the pork medallions out of the marinade (reserve the marinade for later use) and carefully place them in the hot skillet. Sear for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust.

        Add the Marinade: After browning the medallions, pour the reserved marinade over them in the skillet. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to cook for about 2 minutes to enhance the flavor.

          Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reads 145°F (63°C). Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes; this helps keep it juicy.

            Serve: Slice the medallions into thick pieces and drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top for extra flavor. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired. These medallions pair wonderfully with your choice of sides, like roasted seasonal vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
