Ingredients

Scale

For the Pork Tenderloin:

  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 lb each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

For the Balsamic Marinade:

  • ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or Worcestershire sauce)
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Pork

  1. In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, soy sauce, rosemary, and thyme.
  2. Place the pork tenderloins in a resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over them.
  3. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 2: Preheat & Sear the Pork

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Remove pork from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 3: Roast in the Oven

  1. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  2. While roasting, heat the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes to create a glaze.

Step 4: Rest & Serve

  1. Remove pork from the oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  2. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze and serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

 

  • Make It Sweeter: Add 1 tbsp maple syrup to the marinade for a richer glaze.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating Tip: Warm in a skillet over low heat with a splash of broth to keep it juicy.
  • Serving Ideas: Serve with roasted Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, or a quinoa salad.
