Honey Thyme Pork Tenderloin
with Roasted Potatoes & Green Beans
- Milk
A honey-based sauce may sound like something that goes with dessert, but mild-tasting pork loves a sweet sauce too, especially one that has a few savory elements added to the mix. In this recipe, you’ll be folding an extra-large drizzle of honey into a rich, savory pan sauce, then spooning it onto pork tenderloin. (We recommend spooning it on the roasted potatoes and side of green beans, too!)

Cooking Steps
• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Toss on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on middle rack until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes total. (You’ll add more to the sheet after 10 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, pat pork* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 6-8 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in step 4). • While pork cooks, trim green beans if necessary. Peel and mince garlic.
• Once potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven; carefully toss, keeping on one side. • Toss green beans on empty side with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Return to middle rack until veggies are tender, 10-12 minutes more.
• Once pork is browned all over, transfer to a second baking sheet. • Roast on top rack until pork is cooked through, 8-12 minutes.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in stock concentrates, honey, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Simmer, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until reduced by half, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, stir in a splash or two of water.
• Let pork rest 2-3 minutes, then thinly slice crosswise. • Divide pork, green beans, and potatoes between plates. Drizzle pork with sauce and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
If I could give this more stars I would. We really loved this dish. The pork tenderloin was awesome in this dish. The thyme and honey made the pork tenderloin. My husband who is not a green bean fan loved the green beans fixed this way. I used olive oil to cook them in.
Wow! The honey thyme sauce really makes this dish. I also love this dish because it was easy to make - nothing too complicated or in depth. Simple green beans and diced potatoes with oil salt and pepper. Fabulous!
Best meal yet. The pork tenderloin was out of this world...so tender and juicy. The honey-thyme sauce was surprisingly delicious. The green beans were perfect with no bad spots, and the ends were already cut off. YUM!!
The tenderloin's seasoning was delicious. Everyone loved the roasted potatoes paired with the pork. The honey-thyme sauce is very versatile and enhance the pork's flavor and was yummy on the potatoes too.
Timing on the recipe was a little bit off. The green beans were done before the potatoes, and then they all had to sit while the pork came to temp. I would have liked a little more honey flavor, because 3 packets of stock concentrate ended up overpowering the one packet of honey. Overall, though, it was delicious.
My family and I loved this dish. The thyme really brought out the flavors with the honey and garlic. Never had Pork tenderloin before but that was delicious. Tender and had a lot of moisture.
Delicious! very easy to make as well as clean up afterwards. loved the honey thyme drizzle. the pork was tender and of good quality and the right portion size; no leftovers. would buy again.
Pork was very tender and tasty. The honey thyme was a perfect combination glaze. It paired well with the potatoes and green beans.
The sauce on this Honey thyme pork tenderloin is so good! We even drizzled it in the green beans!
The tenderloin was quite tasty. I tried lightly fry/baste the green beans with some sesame seeds, green onion, and garlic. I'm glad I tried that. It was a nice switch from roasting that leaves the beans tasteless.
