Ginger-Dijon Glazed Pork Tenderloin (Phase 1)

From:  The South Beach Diet Supercharged

Makes 4 servings

Description
Dijon mustard, reduced-fat sour cream, and fresh ginger create a flavorful coating for this tender pork roast. Make an extra pork loin and slice for lunch the next day.

Prep time:10 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes

Ingredients
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon reduced-fat sour cream
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt
1 1/2 pounds pork loin
1 large garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
Heat the oven to 450B0F. In a small bowl, stir together mustard, sour cream, ginger, thyme, and a pinch of salt; set aside.

Make several 1/4-inch slits in pork loin. Slip garlic into slits. Brush loin with oil and season with salt and pepper.

Heat a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add pork loin and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.

Spread mustard mixture over pork, then transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until a meat thermometer inserted into center of pork registers 150B0F, about 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and transfer pork to a cutting board; loosely cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Cooking tip: Studding the meat with garlic before cooking is an easy flavor technique that can be used for any cut of pork or beef.
