Ingredients

1 pork tenderloin 1.5 pounds or so
2 tablespoons grainy mustard such as Finest Reserve Supreme Honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 clove garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Place pork tenderloin on prepared pan and pat dry with paper towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard glaze then brush evenly on all sides of pork tenderloin. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until pork reaches internal cooking temperature of 145 degrees or higher.
Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes tented with foil before slicing to serve.

Notes

I highly suggest using an instant read digital thermometer to ensure good cook time. The National Pork Board recommends cooking pork chops, roasts, and tenderloin to an internal temperature between 145° F. (medium rare) and 160° F. (medium).
