Description
A simple recipe for pork tenderloin roasted with a balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 lbs)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season all sides generously with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and rosemary to create the glaze.
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
- Brush half of the balsamic glaze over the top and sides of the seared pork.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 15 to 25 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit is reached.
- Remove the pork from the oven. Brush with the remaining glaze. Let the pork rest on a cutting board for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the tenderloin against the grain and serve immediately.
Notes
- For easier cleanup, you can line your skillet with parchment paper before searing, though this may slightly affect the sear quality.
- If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, sear the pork in a regular skillet and then transfer it to a baking dish before roasting.
