- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
- In a small bowl, whisk together shallot, maple syrup, mustard, vinegar and soy sauce; set aside.
- Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. In ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook for about 1 minute per side or until browned on all sides. Generously brush top and sides with some of the maple syrup mixture.
- Pour in broth, increase heat and bring to a boil.
- Transfer skillet to preheated oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, brushing generously with maple syrup mixture three times, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 155∞F (68∞C). Transfer pork to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and pork to reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Meanwhile, bring pan juices to a boil over high heat. Add the remaining maple syrup mixture. Boil, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Cut pork crosswise into thin slices and serve drizzled with sauce.
