Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin about 1 pound
- 1/2 cup Italian Herbs of Naples Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Italian Herbs of Naples Balsamic Vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Marinate the Pork:
- Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for glazing.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Sear the Pork:
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Sear the pork on all sides until it is browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Roast the Pork:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Prepare the Glaze:
- While the pork is roasting, place the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Glaze the Pork:
- Remove the pork from the oven and brush it with the prepared glaze. Let the pork rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve:
- Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle with any remaining glaze. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Notes
Tips
