HOW TO ROAST PORK TENDERLOIN
To bake pork tenderloin: First, make the rub for the pork tenderloins: Combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mix over the pork tenderloins.
In a skillet, sear the pork tenderloins until browned on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Do not burn the spices; otherwise, it may taste bitter.
Make the sauce: Combine garlic, honey, soy sauce, mustard, Sriracha, and oil. Brush this mixture over the pork tenderloins arranged in a baking dish.
Roast the pork tenderloins for 15 minutes, then remove them from the oven. To prevent the meat from drying up, we put a piece of foil over the tenderloins so the top doesn’t burn. Continue roasting for 15 minutes until the internal temperature of the pork tenderloins reaches 145˚F (62ºC).
Allow to rest, then slice the roasted pork tenderloins against the grain and serve, garnished with rosemary, orange slices, and the reserved sauce on the side. See more detailed instructions below!

3. In a skillet, heat one tablespoon olive oil over medium heat and sear the pork tenderloins until browned on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the pork tenderloins to the prepared baking dish. There is no need to cook the meat here fully; we give some color and “lock up” the moisture.
