Maple Mustard-Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Pork is one of our top three favourite meats to cook because it absorbs flavour well, is relatively easy to prepare, is rich in thiamine, contains niacin, riboflavin, vitamins, zinc and potassium. These days it’s more affordable than beef and essentially better for you. On occasion we buy our Canadian pork from a local butcher and other times we look for sales to buy extra to freeze.

Our maple mustard-glazed pork tenderloin recipe was created as another quick meal for a busy activity night!

Pork Tenderloin

Pork tenderloin is a lean, tender and boneless cut of pork that comes from the muscle that runs along the backbone of the pig. It’s a good choice for marinating or serving with a sauce, easy to cook, and a quick week night meal. Since it’s so lean it can dry out quickly so having a good meat thermometer is key to ensuring you end up with a juicy piece of meat.

Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 155-160F.

Who cut the Mustard

I always seem to have a large variety of mustard’s in my pantry or refrigerator which is surprisingly really as I am mostly the only one in the family who loves mustard. Must be my German roots showing!

Canadian farmers (the prairies) has a staggering 308,000 acres of mustard and is the world’s leading mustard seed exporter. Canada produces yellow, brown and oriental seeds and sends 80 percent of its seeds to France to make Dijon mustard. Read more about Canadian Mustard.

For this recipe we have used whole grain mustard, Dijon and a spicy brown variation! Here’s a couple local mustard companies you can find some crazy good mustard: Brassica Mustard and Cian’s Mustard.
