Dijon Glazed Pork Tenderloin

I came up with this simple recipe one day while I was working at home. I had taken a pork tenderloin out of the freezer a few days before and forgot about it. Luckily while I was foraging through the fridge I decided a few deep knee squats were in order which gave me a birds eye view of things that were nearly forgotten on the lower shelf. For a moment I had a horrible thought that I was about to throw what was once a perfectly great chunk of meat into the compost pail, but a quick whiff confirmed that I still had time. I wasn’t sure how I was going to cook this so I did what I normally do, stood staring aimlessly at the condiments in the door of the fridge waiting for divine intervention from the cooking gods. Meanwhile all I could hear was my Dad yelling at me when I was kid “Don’t just stand there with the door open!”

Finally my eyes landed on a jar of Dijon. After that I did my best impression of Chopped and came up with this super simple but ridiculously flavourful recipe. This is really great the next day too.
