**Pork Tenderloin Oven BBQ**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
– 1 cup ketchup
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon mustard powder
– 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and black pepper to taste
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, mustard powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
3. Heat the sauce over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Reduce the heat and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and season it with salt and pepper.
5. Place the pork tenderloin in a baking dish and brush it generously with the prepared bbq sauce, making sure to coat all sides.
6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes.

8. Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into medallions.
