Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 1 to 1.5 lbs each) pork tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon (chopped) fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup chicken stock

Directions

Step 1

Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloins. Pat the pork dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and chopped fresh thyme.

Step 3

Rub the pork tenderloins evenly with olive oil, then season generously with the spice mixture on all sides. Let the pork sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the pork tenderloins on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium-rare or 160°F for medium. Use an instant-read meat thermometer for accuracy.

Step 6

While the pork is grilling, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, chicken stock, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes, until the mixture is slightly thickened.

Step 7

When the pork is fully cooked, transfer it to a cutting board, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 8

Slice the pork tenderloins into medallions and drizzle with the warm balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
