Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.25 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of silver skin
  • 2 medium ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 10–12 large fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Season the pork generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.
  4. In a small bowl, combine diced peaches, chopped basil, honey, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until smooth-ish.
  5. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  6. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides (about 2-3 minutes per side) until golden brown.
  7. Brush the first layer of glaze generously all over the seared pork.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the pork for 18-22 minutes, basting with more glaze every 7 minutes.
  9. Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should read 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or up to 160°F (71°C) if preferred more done.
  10. Remove from oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  11. Slice the pork into medallions, drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the top, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Notes

If peaches aren’t juicy enough, add a splash of water or more vinegar to keep glaze saucy. Watch glaze during roasting to prevent burning; cover loosely with foil if it darkens too fast. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. Rest pork before slicing to keep it juicy. Optional red pepper flakes add a subtle heat.
