Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Generously season tenderloin with salt and pepper. Set aside. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mustard, brown sugar, and thyme. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Place a large sheet of aluminum foil onto a baking sheet. Place onion slices in the center of the foil, in a single layer. Place pork over onions and brush with 1/2 of mustard mixture. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 130 degrees F (55 degrees C). (45 minutes)

05

Step

Remove from the oven. Open packet carefully by cutting along top fold with a sharp knife, allowing steam to escape. When uncovered, brush with remaining mustard mixture. Leaving the packet open, broil for about 1 minute or until a nice crust forms on top. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Remove from the oven and allow tenderloin to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the mustard mixture.
Ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked to an internal temperature of 130 degrees F (55 degrees C) for optimal tenderness and juiciness.
Letting the pork rest before slicing allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more succulent and flavorful dish.
