Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season it on all sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Sear the pork tenderloin in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side, until it is browned on all sides. Remove the skillet from heat but leave the pork in the pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
Pour the balsamic glaze evenly over the pork tenderloin in the skillet.
Place the skillet into the preheated oven and roast for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork tenderloin rest for 5 minutes. The glaze will thicken as it sits.
Slice the pork tenderloin into 1-inch pieces, spooning any remaining glaze from the skillet over the slices.
Garnish with fresh rosemary (optional) and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
