Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag and pour the balsamic mixture over the pork. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- 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).
- While the pork is roasting, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly.
- Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the pork and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top before serving.
- Enjoy your balsamic glazed pork tenderloin!

The dish has also become a staple in many Italian restaurants, particularly in the Emilia-Romagna region, where balsamic vinegar is a prized local ingredient. The key to a perfect balsamic glazed pork tenderloin lies in the quality of the balsamic vinegar and the marinating process.
