Ingredients
  

Strawberry Chipotle Glaze

  • 1 lb strawberries, hulled
  • 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo
  • 2-4 tbsp honey (taste for sweetness as you add)
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • salt & pepper to taste

Pork Tenderloin

  • 1 pork tenderloin (will be two pieces), patted dry
  • salt & pepper
  • olive oil, butter or cooking spray, for the pan
  • oven safe skillet

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375. 
  • In a blender, combine strawberries and chipotle; blend until smooth.
  • Add 2 tbsp honey and dijon mustard. Taste for sweetness, adjust as necessary. 
  • Salt and pepper to taste. Set glaze aside. 
  • Rinse your pork tenderloin and pat dry; season with salt and pepper on all sides. 
  • Heat up an oven proof skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, butter or cooking spray. 
  • Sear the pork tenderloin pieces on all sides, about 3-5 minutes per side. (More caramelization on the outside means more flavor!)
  • Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, brush pork tenderloin with the glaze. 
  • Roast for 45 minutes, glazing every 10 minutes. 
  • Your tenderloin is ready when it reaches an internal temp of 145 or juices run clear - please note! The strawberry glaze can be deceiving and tint the juices pink. 

Notes

Using a thermometer ensures you hit the right temp and don't overcook your tenderloin. We love our Weber iGrill mini and also use an instant read.
