Ingredients for Skillet Honey Garlic Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Green Beans

Instructions

Pat the pork medallions dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork medallions and sear for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove pork from skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, careful not to burn.
Add trimmed green beans and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, thyme, and water.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the green beans and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return pork medallions to the skillet, nestling them into the green beans and sauce. Cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
