4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
salt and pepper
1/4 cup water
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a Dutch oven or ovenproof skillet, heat butter and honey over medium heat, stirring to melt butter. Season pork with salt and 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 minutes more. Lower the heat if the honey begins to burn.
Put pan in the oven and roast until pork is just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate.
Add 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 pork on the diagonal and serve drizzled with the sauce. YIELD: 4 servings
**You are going to want to double this recipe - it's so good.
**Don't forget when you add the water and it's on the stove that it has been in the oven. I can't tell you how many times I grabbed the handle of the pan not remembering that!
