How to Make Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin

  1. Preheat your broiler and position the rack 4 inches from the heat source.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Broil the pork tenderloin for 10 minutes, then flip.
  5. While the pork is broiling, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, whisk together the apricot jam and Dijon mustard until melted and smooth (approximately 3-4 minutes over medium-low heat).
  6. Remove the glaze from the heat and set aside. Transfer about half of the glaze to a small bowl for brushing.
  7. Keep the remaining glaze warm in the saucepan.
  8. Remove the pork tenderloin from the broiler. Brush generously with the reserved glaze.
  9. Return the pork tenderloin to the broiler and cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the pork is nicely browned and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  10. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with the remaining warm glaze and serve immediately.
