Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 pork tenderloins about 500g / 1.1 lb each
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 60 ml (4 tbsp) honey
  • 60 ml (4 tbsp) soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Can I use pork loin instead of tenderloin?Yes, but increase cooking time slightly and check for doneness at 63–65 °C internal temperature.
  2. Is this recipe gluten-free?It can be—just use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
  3. Can I marinate the pork overnight?Absolutely! It enhances the flavor. Just store in the fridge in a sealed bag or container.
  4. What should I do with leftovers?Store in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat gently or serve cold in wraps and salads.
  5. Can I make this ahead?Yes, sear the pork and prepare the sauce, then finish baking just before serving.
  6. How do I keep the pork from drying out?Don’t overbake and always let it rest before slicing. A meat thermometer is key.
  7. Can I freeze the cooked pork?Yes. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
  8. Can I add vegetables to the pan?Yes—baby potatoes, carrots, or bell peppers roast well alongside the pork.
  9. Is there a dairy-free version?This recipe is naturally dairy-free!
  10. What herbs can I substitute for thyme?Rosemary, oregano, or Italian seasoning all work well.
