Description
This Balsamic Pork Tenderloin in Oven is juicy, flavorful, and incredibly easy to prepare. A rich balsamic glaze infused with garlic, mustard, and herbs caramelizes beautifully while roasting, making it a go-to dinner for both weeknights and special occasions.
Ingredients
2 pork tenderloins (1 to 1.5 lbs each)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, and soy sauce (if using).
2. Pat pork tenderloins dry. Place in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour in the marinade. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Sear tenderloins on all sides in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes.
4. Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast for 18–22 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
5. Let pork rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
6. Optional: Reduce leftover marinade in a saucepan over medium heat for 5–7 minutes and drizzle over the sliced pork.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate overnight.
Always use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
Resting the pork is essential for juicy slices.
