Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • For the Pan Sauce:
  • Pan scrapings from pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons of reserved marinade
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Marinade:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley, dry mustard, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir until well blended. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the marinade in a separate container for the sauce.
  • Marinate the Pork:
  • Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the remaining marinade. Seal the bag, ensuring the meat is fully coated, and refrigerate for a minimum of 3–4 hours or, for enhanced flavor, overnight.
  • Sear the Pork:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then sear the pork on all sides for 2–3 minutes per side, forming a golden-brown crust.
  • Roast the Pork:
  • Transfer the seared pork to a greased roasting pan or baking dish. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Remove from the oven and let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Prepare the Pan Sauce:
  • While the pork rests, return the skillet to medium heat. Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Add the reserved marinade and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in the butter and brown sugar, allowing both to melt and integrate into the sauce.

Notes

Slice the pork into medallions and arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle the buttery pan sauce over the slices, ensuring even distribution. Serve immediately.
