Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin

Not many ingredients but here is what you need. 6 tablespoons butter, 8 tablespoons honey.  Black pepper and Cajun seasoning to taste and whatever size pork tenderloin you want.  (I chose two) You will also need a pan that is oven safe for your tenderloin

Use the Cajun seasoning and the black pepper to coat the tenderloin, (don't be shy) NO oil, but on a medium heat brown the tenderloin on all sides. While it  browns in a separate pan....

Melt your butter and honey on a medium heat, and then pour it over your tenderloins when they are brown.

After browning and pouring honey butter over them, put them in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes, then remove, slice it on the diagonal and place on a separate dish to rest.  

 

 

Some of my thicker pieces were a little pink but that is okay because you are going to cook it on the stove a bit.  While it is resting add 1/4 cup of water to your butter and honey mixture.  With a fork stir it pulling up the pork bits from the bottom.

Bring it to a soft boil, at a med heat until it is about half cooked down.

After it has cooked down add your pork and cover...YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT with this part.  Keep your heat at a medium low heat and let it ride!  Because it has butter in it, it will not stick!  Seriously, this takes about 20-30 minutes.  But it is so worth the wait!

That is NOT burn, it is crusted honey.  Heaven if you will.   I served it with candied carrots and a salad.  It was yummylicious, Overall the pork took about and hour to fix but I wasn't continuously working on it.
