• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep:

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

   • Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper.

2. Sear the Pork:

   • In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

   • Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

3. Add Flavors:

   • Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

   • Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Cook with Peaches:

6. Bake:

   • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare to 160°F (71°C) for medium, and the peaches are tender.

7. Rest and Serve:

   • Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing.

   • Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired, and serve warm.
