Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Pork tenderloin
• 0.33 cup Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the pork tenderloin into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear it in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

Step 6

Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet around the pork tenderloin.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute for a moist and flavorful result.

Step 9

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle with the pan juices before serving. Enjoy!
