In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the tenderloin, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours for more flavor).
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the pork tenderloin on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Once seared, transfer the skillet with the tenderloin to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven, then transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top. Serve warm with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
