Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Start by preparing the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, and olive oil.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the marinade along with fresh rosemary, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly.
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the pork and allow it to marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the pork from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Transfer the pork to a baking dish and place it in the preheated oven.
Roast the pork for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for a tender and juicy result.
Allow the pork to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your low-fat, savory marinated pork with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
