Equipment

  • 1 Air fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Pork Tenderloin
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dry thyme
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Combine the brown sugar, paprika, dried thyme, garlic, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir to mix.
  • With paper towels, pat the pork dry. Use a sharp knife to remove the silver skin (the thin silver/white membrane).
  • Brush it all over the sides of the thawed out pork tenderloin. Let it marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400° F for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes, carefully place pork tenderloin into air fryer and air fry at 400° F for 20-22 minutes. Internal temp should be 145°. I find if I leave pork in all the way until it hits 145, it tastes dry
  • The exact cook time will depend on the size and thickness of the pork tenderloin. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Remove the pork to a plate. Cover and let rest 5 minutes. Cut into slices and serve!

Notes

  • TO STORE: Refrigerate pork in an airtight storage container for up to 3 days.
  • TO REHEAT: Reheat the pork loin in the air fryer; preheat to 350 degrees and cook for 3-4 minutes
  • TO FREEZE: Freeze pork in an airtight freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • TO MAKE AHEAD: Let the pork marinate overnight in the refrigerator, then prepare as directed.
