Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin

Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin cooks up tender, moist, and delicious with so much sweet, buttery flavor and just a little spice. This is a simple recipe that requires only a few basic ingredients.

Pork Tenderloin is one of my favorite meats to cook to put a healthy meal on the table. It is a lean meat and so versatile.

For this Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin, the pork is first seasoned with salt and pepper and some chipotle chili powder for a little heat.

To get the pork tenderloin cooked perfectly, it is seared first on the stovetop and then finished in the oven.

Be careful when searing the pork. The honey will burn very easily so you do not want the heat high.

The honey butter sauce tastes amazing! If you serve this Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin with steamed green beans or broccoli, it will help flavor them too.

If you have any leftover, you can serve it over a salad for a healthy, low carb lunch.
