Sauce:
- ¼ cup honey
- 1½ tbsp apple cider vinegar

Pork:
- 1 1 lb. pork tenderloin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic minced

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare the sauce by whisking the honey, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce in a small bowl until well-mixed.
- Prepare the seasoning blend by mixing the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Season the pork tenderloin by sprinkling the seasoning blend evenly all over the pork.
- Sear the pork by heating the oil in a large ovenproof cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add garlic to the cast-iron skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
- Add the well-whisked sauce, and turn the tenderloin to coat it, then immediately transfer to the oven.
- Roast in the oven for 15 – 18 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees with a meat thermometer.
- Remove the pork onto a plate, loosely cover with foil, and rest 5 minutes.
- Finish the sauce by placing the cast-iron skillet with the sauce on the stove over medium-high heat, and simmer rapidly for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces to a thin syrup.
- Remove from the stove, place the pork in, and turn to coat in the sauce.
- To serve, slice the pork into thick slices and drizzle some sauce over it, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Enjoy.
