Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 to 2 pounds raw pork tenderloin, trimmed Choose lean cuts for a healthier option.
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred) Low-sodium is recommended to control saltiness.

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and Dijon mustard.
  4. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated.
  5. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cooking
