Mustard-Glazed Pork Tenderloin image

This savory-sweet treatment for pork tenderloin was brought to The Times in 1989 by the inimitable Marian Burros. With just five ingredients - pork, brown sugar, whole-grain mustard, rosemary and sherry - you have an extremely simple though supremely satisfying dish. We like ours served with mashed sweet potatoes and a pile of sautéed greens, and the leftovers make great sandwiches.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloins
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
2 teaspoons chopped fresh or dried rosemary
2 tablespoons dry sherry

Steps:

  • Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add pork tenderloins and turn to coat well with marinade. Marinate for 15 minutes or as long as overnight.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until smoking. (Alternately, heat a charcoal or gas grill to high; bank coals or turn off burner on one side.) Season tenderloins with salt and pepper. Brush pan with olive oil and add tenderloins; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, turning tenderloins every 3 to 4 minutes, until deeply caramelized on all sides and until desired internal temperature, about 20 to 25 minutes. (You can also broil the tenderloins in the oven - about 10 minutes on one side, then turn and cook about 5 minutes on the other.)
  • Remove and lightly tent with foil; let rest about 10 minutes before cutting into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices.
