Honeybutter Pork Tenderloin - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed of silver skin
salt
pepper
1/4 cup water

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375.
In a dutch oven or ovenproof skillet, heat the butter and honey over medium heat, stirring to melt butter.
Season the pork with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and place in pan.
Cook until underside is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Turn pork, and cook until other side is browned, about 5 min more.
(Lower the heat if the honey begins to burn.) Put the pan in the oven, and roast until the pork is just cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
Transfer the pork to a plate and cover with foil to rest.
Add the water to the pan, and stir over medium heat to scrape up all the browned bits.
Add any accumulated pork juices from the plate, and simmer until sauce is reduced to about 1/2 cup.
Slice the pork on the diagonal and served drizzled with the sauce.
