Gluten Free Orange Marmalade Pork Tenderloin

Photo: Cooking Gluten Free

Ingredients

1 pork tenderloin

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove garlic

cup gluten free soy sauce or tamari sauce

cup honey or agave nectar

cup orange marmalade

1 tablespoon +1 tsp. rice wine vinegar

3 scallions

Preparation

Heat 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat

Cook the garlic about 1 minute or until fragrant.

Add the soy sauce, orange marmalade, honey, and rice wine vinegar. Bring to a simmer and set aside to come to room temperature.

Trim off any fat you want to from your tenderloin and place in a large plastic bag. Pour 1/2 of the sauce in with the tenderloin, seal the bag and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In an oven proof skillet (I prefer a cast iron skillet) heat another 1-2 Tbsp. over med-high heat and sear the tenderloin, using tongs to turn.

Transfer to the preheated oven and cook 20-25 minutes or until the center reaches 165 degrees. A meat thermometer really comes in handy here. Before I bought one, I was always having to put mine back in the oven because the center was still pink. Most recipes I've read have you cook your tenderloin 15-20 min. but mine is never done that fast.

Just before your tenderloin comes out of the oven, heat up the rest of your sauce on the stove. When your tenderloin is done, transfer it to a serving platter and pour on the rest of the sauce, then garnish with scallions. Delicious!!!
