This pork tenderloin is what I made the other night to go

with the zucchini boats.  Both were great.  My only complaint

is that the vinegar is quite strong in this recipe.  When I make

it again I'll cut back on that.  We did enjoy it very much though. 

Mustard-Maple Pork Tenderloin

   I got the recipe from Living Well.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed
• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Combine 1 tablespoon mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl; rub all over pork.
   Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and brown
   on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until an instant-read
   thermometer inserted in the center registers 145°F, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a
   cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
3. Place the skillet over medium-high heat (take care, the handle will still be hot), add
   vinegar, and boil, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, about 30 seconds.
   Whisk in maple syrup and the remaining 2 tablespoons mustard; bring to a boil, reduce
   heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
4. Slice the pork. Add any accumulated juices to the sauce along with sage. Serve the pork
   topped with the sauce.
