Ingredients:
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch slices
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Peel and mince the garlic clove, and measure out the brown sugar, molasses, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Slice the pork tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick slices.
-
Heat Skillet: Spray a 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat. Allow the skillet to get nice and hot before proceeding.
-
Cook Pork and Garlic: Once the skillet is hot, add the sliced pork and minced garlic to the pan. Cook them together for 8 to 10 minutes, turning the pork slices occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Drain (if necessary): Depending on the amount of fat rendered from the pork during cooking, you may need to drain excess fat from the skillet.
-
Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the brown sugar, molasses, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the pork slices beautifully.
-
Serve: Once the sauce has thickened to your liking and the pork slices are caramelized and cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the caramelized pork slices hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
