Pork tenderloin can be a versatile meat. There are so many things you can do with a simple tenderloin, whether it’s been marinated or not. I’ve cooked pork tenderloin in the instant pot, on the grill, in the oven, and on the stovetop. While the instant pot makes it quick, I feel like I don’t have as many options.

My favorite way to cook a pork tenderloin is in a skillet. You can watch it closely to get the meat cooked exactly how you want it. I like having a glaze for the pork. The first time I made one that was glazed had a brown sugar coating. Since we like sweet foods, I decided to go with honey this time. We are trying to be better about not adding sugar, so it’s a better alternative as a sweetener.

Honey-Glazed Pork Tenderloin Step by Step

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1″ slices
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 cup radishes, sliced thinly
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Honey-Glazed Pork Tenderloin Leftovers

Leftover honey-glazed pork can be stored in a container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. I like to cook it in a skillet again to reheat just until it’s warmed through. If you do it too long, it can dry out. I suggest adding a bit of olive oil to the pan to keep it moist and so it doesn’t stick. The radish salad can also be stored in the refrigerator and served cold.
