1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the marinade is smooth.

3. Prepare the pork tenderloin: Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. This helps it sear properly. Rub the olive oil all over the pork to coat evenly.

4. Marinate the pork: Rub the marinade mixture all over the pork tenderloin, making sure it’s well-coated. You can let it marinate for 15-30 minutes for more flavor, but if you’re in a rush, you can cook it right away.

5. Sear the pork: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork tenderloin and sear on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side, until it gets a nice brown crust.

6. Roast in the oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the pork for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare to medium.

7. Rest the meat: Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the pork juicy and tender.

8. Slice and serve: Slice the tenderloin against the grain into medallions and serve with your favorite sides.
