For an even richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the marinade. To ensure even cooking, make sure the pork tenderloin is relatively uniform in thickness. If necessary, tuck the thinner end under to create a more even shape. Serve this balsamic marinated pork tenderloin with roasted vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal. The reserved marinade can be reduced into a sauce, but make sure you bring the marinade to boil and simmer for at least 10 minutes to kill bacteria.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the balsamic marinade over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Remove excess air, seal the bag tightly, and massage the marinade into the pork. Place the bag in a bowl or dish to prevent leaks. (5 minutes)
03
Step
8 hrs
Marinate the pork tenderloin in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. (6-8 hours)
04
Step
10 mins
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Remove the marinated pork tenderloin from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking. (20 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade. Place the pork in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
06
Step
25 mins
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium doneness. (20-25 minutes)
07
Step
20 mins
Remove the roasted pork tenderloin from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a more tender and flavorful result. (10 minutes)
08
Step
10 mins
Slice the pork tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick medallions and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired.
