In a medium bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, freshly chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined to create the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the meat. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight, turning occasionally.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400Β°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork tenderloins on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, turning frequently to ensure even cooking and to achieve a nice caramelized crust.
Continue grilling until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the tenderloin reaches 145Β°F (use a meat thermometer to check). This should take approximately 20 minutes.
Remove the pork tenderloins from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and flavorful meat.
Slice the pork tenderloins into medallions and serve immediately. Pair with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
