Have dinner on the table in 20 minutes with an easy-to-make Honey-Glazed Pork Tenderloin. Serve with a radish salad for a complete meal.
Jump to RecipePork 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

Preparation
In a small bowl, combine the honey, red wine vinegar, ginger, and 3/4 tsp pepper.

Set aside about 2 tbsp of the honey sauce.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and warm 1 tbsp olive oil.
Sprinkle the pork with salt and place it in the warm skillet.

Brush with honey sauce.
Cook the pork for about 8 minutes, flipping at least once, until cooked through. Continue to brush with the honey sauce as the pork cooks.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the arugula, radishes, remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, remaining 1/4 tsp pepper, and lemon juice.

Serve the pork warm drizzled with reserved 2 tbsp honey sauce with the salad on the side.
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.

I tried your mashed potatoes recipe since I am vegan. This seems great. My sister will make this for her. Will let you know how it turns out.
We love honey glazed everything. We had shrimps last week. I think honey glazed tenderloin should be next on our meal plan. Looks delicious!
Although I’m more of a fish and sea food lover, not meat, I found this recipe interesting. It’s also rather easy to make.
While I am not a huge pork eater I think this would be delicious on other meats as well!

I love how you have paired this with radish salad – a totally underused vegetable. Would never have thought about that combination.
These look delicious and very tempting. I can imagine they are lovely to eat with some fresh salad. I love honey glazed anything but never tried it with pork.
