Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Coca Cola, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Set aside.
-
Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag and season with salt and pepper. Pour half of the marinade over the pork, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for the best flavor.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use, and sear each side of the pork until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Pour the reserved marinade over the pork in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), basting occasionally with the glaze.
-
Once the pork is cooked through, remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
-
While the pork is resting, place the skillet with the glaze back on the stovetop over medium heat. Bring the glaze to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened slightly.
-
Slice the pork tenderloins into 1-inch thick slices and drizzle the warm Coca Cola glaze over the top. Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides and enjoy the delightful flavors!
