Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin around 500g
- Salt To Taste
- Pepper To Taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 sprig rosemary finely chopped

Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper generously.
- Sear the Tenderloin: In an oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork tenderloin. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until a golden crust forms.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the pork is baking, combine apple cider, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce it by half, or until it thickens into a glaze. Whisk in the butter until smooth.
- Serve: Slice the pork tenderloin and drizzle with the apple cider glaze. Pair with your favorite sides and enjoy!
