Brown Sugar Dijon Pork Tenderloin

I love the sweetness combined with the mustard in this dish.  It is nice enough for company, but easy enough for a weeknight.  I use my cast iron skillet to easily brown/bake the tenderloin in the same dish, making for easy clean-up.  Plus it's made with ingredients I usually have on hand.


  • 1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 2 TBS French's Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • salt and pepper, to taste


Brown Sugar Dijon dipping sauce

  • 2 TBS French's Dijon mustard
  • 1-2 tsp brown sugar
  1. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper on both sides.  Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat.  Add seasoned pork tenderloin and brown, about 4 mins on each side.  
  2. Preheat oven to 400F
  3. Once browned, brush the tenderloin with dijon mustard, then sprinkle it with the brown sugar all over, and press gently with your fingers to make it absorb in.
  4. Bake uncovered for 30-40 mins, or until it is cooked.  Remove and let sit for 10 mins before slicing.  
  5. Combine ingredients for brown sugar dijon dipping sauce.  Slice tenderloin and serve with dipping sauce.
